    Very neat looking church from the outside, very close to the Neumarkt. Plenty of area around it, with interesting spires going upwards, and tall glass walls.

    Beautiful romanesque church. There are works being done which take away from the experience but overall a very beautiful and special. When we went there wasn't anyone else (we went at noon) which was nice also

    St. Aposteln is a Roman Catholic church and one of the twelve major Romanesque churches in the city of Cologne. The three-aisled church is located in the city center on Neumarkt between Hahnenstraße and Mittelstraße. It is characterized by an elaborately designed triangular system, in which two flanking east towers are integrated. Opposite them is the west tower, which, with its approximately 67 meters, is the third highest tower of the Romanesque churches in Cologne. The cloverleaf-shaped choir building is dominated by a short octagonal crossing tower, which is crowned by a lantern. The transept of the nave is connected to the west tower by a short, barrel-vaulted yoke.

    Very beautiful romanesque church. The interieur is amazingly. What's more, it's unbelievable quiet inside, considering it's in the city centre. Great place to calm down and find some peace.

    One of Cologne's 12 Romanesque churches, dating back to the 11th century. Neumarkt U-bahn station.

    Beautiful romanesque-style basilica. Though the original church, dating as far back as the middle ages, was bombed to bits during WW II, it has been rebuilt in the original style and is one of the many architecturally and historically important romanesque churches in Cologne. Every Sunday morning St. Aposteln offers a Latin High Mass for those interested in more traditional Roman Catholic services.

  • 5/5 Ravi L. 3 months ago on Google • 478 reviews New
    Very peaceful and well kept church. The church was closed at the foyer. Maybe because it was all set for a Christmas service. However, you have look through the gates and admire the architecture and art. We saw people praying and lighting candles. This place gives hope and peace to those who seek it. We spent about 15 minutes here. You do not have to pay any fees, but to respect the place.

    We came upon St Aposteln unexpectedly on our way somewhere else and wow! It's beautiful. Unfortunately they were just closed (between 1 and 3) so we couldn't go inside but we'll be sure to come back.

    From time to time they do have some nice music events that brings peace. If you are nearby when they have something just entered and enjoy your time. Normally no fees required but at the end you can make a small donation that they can continúe making this type of events.

    (Translated by Google) Original steel engraving by William Tombleson The parishioner of the Deutz curators in front of St. Apostle, on April 21, 1900Sf. The Apostle is a Roman-Catholic Church and one of the twelve great Romanesque churches in the city of Cologne. The three-color church is located in the city center on Neumarkt, between Hahnenstrasse and Mittelstrasse. Next to it is the western tower, which is 67 meters the third tallest tower in the Romanesque churches in Cologne. The clover-shaped choir building is dominated by a short octagonal crossing tower, which is crowned by a lantern. The transept of the nave is connected to the western tower by a short barrel vault. Pope Paul VI On September 18, 1965, the Church raised the rank of minor basilica with the apostolic exhortation (Original) Gravură originală din oțel după William TomblesonParada curassierilor din Deutz în fața Sf.

    (Translated by Google) For many, the cathedral is the highlight of Cologne's sights. For me, the 13 Romanesque churches are just as worth seeing. In the Middle Ages Cologne was, alongside London and Paris, the economic and cultural center of Europe. The churches that were built during this period are correspondingly important. For me, St. Gereon, St. Aposteln and Groß-Sankt-Martin are the most impressive Romanesque churches in Cologne. They are each about 15 minutes' walk apart. It is worth strolling from church to church. Close to all the churches are beautiful streets with many interesting restaurants. The Breite Strasse is close to St. Gereon, Mittelstrasse and Neumarkt are near St. Aposteln and the Alter Markt is near Groß-Sankt-Martin. Have fun exploring. (Original) Für viele ist der Dom der Höhepunkt der Kölner Sehenswürdigkeiten. Für mich sind die 13 romanischen Kirchen allerdings mindestens genauso sehenswert. Im Mittelalter war Köln neben London und Paris wirtschaftliches und kulturelles Zentrum Europas. Entsprechend bedeutend sind die in dieser Zeit entstandenen Kirchen. Für mich sind St. Gereon, St. Aposteln und Groß-Sankt-Martin davon die beeindruckendsten romanischen Kirchen in Köln. Sie liegen jeweils etwa 15 Minuten Fußweg auseinander. Ein Spaziergang von Kirche zu Kirche lohnt sich. Nah bei allen Kirchen sind jeweils schöne Straßen mit vielen interessanten Lokalen. Nahe bei St. Gereon liegt die Breite Straße, bei St. Aposteln liegen die Mittelstraße und der Neumarkt und bei Groß-Sankt-Martin der Alter Markt. Viel Freude bei der Erkundung.

    (Translated by Google) One of the twelve large Romanesque churches in the city of Cologne. In the Christmas season with concerts a nice contrast to the hustle and bustle in the city center and the hustle and bustle on the neighboring "Markt der Engel" (Christmas market on the Neumarkt).

  • 3/5 Sonia C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful exterior architecture. As soon as you enter a typical polyptych altar with polychrome wooden statues. The central nave, the altar and the benches for the faithful were, however, inaccessible .... a closed gate, although allowing to see the interiors globally, did not allow the approach to the works contained therein. It can only be accessed when there is a function. Sin. (Original) Bella architettura esterna. Appena si entra un tipico altare polittico con statue lignee policrome. La navata centrale, l'altare e le panche per i fedeli erano, però, inaccessibili....un cancello chiuso, pur permettendo di vedere globalmente gli interni, non consentiva l'avvicinamento alle opere in essa contenute. Si può accedere solo quando c'è la funzione. Peccato.
