We are going to talk about Cologne Cathedral in Germany.
First, I would like to talk about the history. Cologne Cathedral is the biggest and oldest gothic architecture in the world. In 1996 this architecture was placed on the World Heritage List.Construction of the architecture started in 1248 and was completed in 1880. It took 632 years to finish the architecture, because of a fire , a war and religious reformation and shortage of funds. This architecture is made of rocks and the height is 157m. It was the tallest architecture until 1884. And stained glass and sculptures are also worth seeing. We can upstairs to the tower of the cathedral which is 109m high and it has 509 steps. If you are confident of your own stamina, I recommend you to challenge the stairs. From the tower, we can look out the whole of the town.
Second, I am going to talk about admission charge. The inside of the architecture is free of charge but the tower has a fee of 2.00 euros for adults and 1.00 euro for students. We can take a picture inside the architecture freely.
