St. Ursula
Ursulaplatz 24, Nordstadt, Cologne, GermanyTel: +49 221 9130 110
The inhabitants of Cologne dedicated a church to St Ursula and her maidens as early as the 4th-5th century, but the church was enlarged several times in the following years. The cult of St Ursula only began to lose its appeal in 1164, after the relics of the Three Kings were brought to Cologne. In spite of the addition of the gothic choir in 1287, the romanesque style of the church's architecture (around 1135) is still clearly to be seen. St Ursula's was badly damaged during the Second World War along with namy other churches. In particular, the vault of the central nave was destroyed and have been replaced with a wooden ceiling. The greatest treasure of the church is the Golden Chamber from 1643.
