292 DE - Cologne Cathedral (1996)

Brief Description

"Begun in 1248, the construction of this Gothic masterpiece took place in several stages and was not completed until 1880. Over seven centuries, successive builders were inspired by the same faith and a spirit of absolute fidelity to the original plans. Apart from its exceptional intrinsic value and the artistic masterpieces it contains, Cologne Cathedral testifies to the enduring strength of European Christianity".

科隆大教堂
"哥特式科隆大教堂始建于1248年,历经几个阶段的修建,直到1880才建成。在修建科隆大教堂的七个世纪中,一代代建筑师们秉承着相同的信念,做到了绝对忠实于最初的设计方案。除了其自身的重要价值和教堂内的艺术珍品以外,科隆大教堂还表现了欧洲基督教经久不衰的力量。"
