The golden Schrein der Heiligen Drei Konige (shrine of the Three Holy Kings), the largest shrine of the Middle Ages, shines out from behind the high altar of the Kolner Doms. The shrine was made by the famous goldsmith Nikolas von Verdun, after the relics were brought to Cologne on the 23rd of July 1164 by Archbishop Raimund of Dassel. The 220cm shrine has only been viewable to visitors and pilgrims in its entirety since its restoration in 1973, having been severely damaged during an attempt to move it to safety during the French occupation, and was only restored in 1973. Fuhrungen: 11a; 12:30p; 2p; 3:30p M-Sa 2p; 3:30 Su.
