    Nice little campsite with very friendly operators. Beautifully located on the Ruhr. Old-fashioned but very clean sanitary facilities. There is a hotel directly connected that also offers accommodation for bikers. A bit difficult to find and only possible to pay in cash..

Барельефы на воротах не оставляют равнодушным. Ожидал, что внутреннее убранство будет в стиле барельефов, но оказалось все очень красиво, современно и душевно

    St. Kunibert is one of the twelve Romanesque basilicas of Cologne. It is located near the Rhine in the northern old town. The three-aisled church building is Cologne's youngest among the large Romanesque churches and has the most impressive silhouette in the city panorama north of the gothic Cologne Cathedral. The late date of their construction is likely to be the cause of their very self-contained and rich design.

    Beautiful basilica in Romanesque style. Simply an oasis of calm. Great windows and wonderful vaults. A successful, quiet outdoor area invites you to linger. A visit there is definitely worth it. 👍

  • 4/5 Andrea H. 6 years ago on Google • 175 reviews
    A very successful reconstruction of the youngest of Cologne's 12 large Romanesque churches. The height of the room and the vault of the central nave give an idea of ​​the new Gothic era. The consecration of Kunibert took place in 1247 - a year before the foundation stone of the new Gothic cathedral was laid (1248).

    (Translated by Google) Lucky to get to Sunday Mass, the organ played and the choir sang. Inside, it was pleasant and peaceful, I went there by accident, because I heard the ringing of bells and I wanted to wait out the rain somewhere. Even warmed up and dried out a little. (Original) Посчастливилось попасть на воскресную мессу- играл орган и пел хор. Внутри приятно и умиротворенно- зашла туда случайно, так как услышала звон колоколов и хотелось где-нибудь переждать ливень. Немного даже согрелась и обсохла.

    November 24th, 2019: Went here again to the youngest of the Romanesque churches in Cologne - with the ship MS J. Brahms! This time I saw the 13th century Romanesque church from the Rhine very nicely from the ship. It was preserved through the efforts of the Romance Churches Association and reopened in 1993. Wall paintings have been preserved here and, above all, the oldest colored windows in Cologne, around 1220 in the choir, which alone are worth a visit.

    (Translated by Google) Sankt Kunibert is a three-aisled vault basilica in the north of Cologne, just opposite the St. Mary's Hospital. This area is also called the Kunibertsviertel with beautiful old houses from the 12th and 13th century. The murals have been preserved to this day If you are interested in the oldest color windows around 1220 in the choir, then you are in good hands in Sankt Kunibert. This basilica I can only recommend to art lovers. (Original) Sankt Kunibert ist eine dreischiffige Gewölbebasilika in der Nördlichen Altstadt von Köln, gleich gegenüber dem Sankt Marienhospital.Diese Gegend nennt man auch das Kunibertsviertel mit schönen alten Häusern aus dem 12.und 13. Jahrhundert.Die Wandmalereien sind bis heute erhalten geblieben.Vor allem wer sich für die ältesten farbfenster um 1220im Chor interessiert, ist in Sankt Kunibert bestens aufgehoben. Diese Basilika kann ich Kunstinteressierten nur " EMPFEHLEN.

    Imposing Romanesque church that was partially destroyed in WWII. Multi-layered art throughout the church. The exhibition “Pure Forms. Romanesque Churches in Cologne” with paintings by the artist Alexander Dettmar is currently on view here until February 22, 2023. A high-quality catalog has been published for the exhibition. Thanks for this to the support association “Romanische Kirchen Köln e.V.”. Absolute recommendation!

  • 5/5 Aiko H. 7 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    Very nice church. The art inside and the sad history of the church are particularly worth a visit. So far I've only ever gone to the cathedral, but Cologne has many other churches that you can visit. I find it particularly exciting that the church is called St. Kunibert but was originally built in honor of St. Clemens. This is particularly noticeable on the inner entrance door, where the legend is depicted.

    (Translated by Google) The most recent of the Romanesque churches of Cologne, dedicated to the saint bishop, ninth of the city, suffered, like all the churches, various vicissitudes due to fires and collapses, ending with secularization in the Napoleonic period and the Second World War. It still contains valuable works, ranging from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, among which I point out the Pietà, the Annunciation and the stained glass windows which, instead, date back to around 1250. (Original) La più recente delle chiese romaniche di Colonia, dedicata al santo vescovo, nono della città, ha subito, come tutte le chiese varie vicissitudini dovute a incendi e crolli, per finire con la secolarizzazione in periodo napoleonico e la seconda guerra mondiale. Custodisce comunque pregevoli opere, che spaziano dal Trecento al Cinquecento tra le quali segnalo la Pietà, l'Annunciazione e le vetrate che, invece, risalgono al 1250 circa.
