St. Kunibert, Cologne

@Michael Skorulski: Yes, it has a very pure Romanesque style. It was consecrated just one year before construction of the Cologne Cathdral began (1247) and has been built at the zenith of that architecture.

@Margie: Maybe that's an indication of early Gothic influence. The city of Neuss (nearby Düsseldorf) has a Romanesque church that anticipates the architecture of cathedrals, a very unusual architecture, then.

@MaryB: Especially English Gothic (especially the late one) is a treasure I still have to discover!

@Steven: Great parts were destroyed during WWII, reconstruction persisted to the 1990s. Here I've written some more info and you'll find aditional links.

@Kaddy: I don't know - usually the light in churches reaches from dark to mellow. It would be simple to brighten the photo a little bit up but that wouldn't match the impression of light I had there. So I didn't any post processing here :-)

@Observing: For a Romanesque church - yes. It's quite an impressive sight when you approach Cologne by train, rolling on the Hohenzollern bridge, looking northwards: it's the biggest landmark on the river Rhine to the north of the cathedral.

@Ian Bramham: Thank you! Indeed a very pure execution at the zenith of Romanesque architecture. Gothic was already coming through the door.

@Irwansyah Sk3tchw!nd: Absolutely :) Without all the colour and stuff from later centuries it has a very pure and almost 'modern' appearance. I like this church very much.

@Twelvebit: This is almost a new building, the original church was heavily destroyed in the war. Its reconstruction was discussed controversally, because the original Romanesque church from the 13th century experienced many modifications through the times. These modifications were eventually omitted in the reconstruction and the church had been rebuilt as it was meant to be.

@drphoto: To be continued. More about this church soon :)
