St. Kunibert's Church

St. Kunibert's is a Romanesque church in Cologne, consecrated in 1247. It was the final building completed among the city's twelve Romanesque churches, finished just before the start of the Cologne Cathedral's construction. In 1998, it was designated a minor basilica by Pope John Paul II. Visitors go here to see examples of 13th-century architecture and religious art.
