Church of St. Panteleimon

The interior of the church of St. Panteleimon has a rich decoration. The relics of St. Panteleimon.

Westerwick Church of St. Panteleimon

St. Pantaleimon's Church in Cologne, full name - Church of Saints Panteleimon, Cosmas and Damian, is one of the oldest temples in Germany. It was built on the territory of the Benedictine monastery in 960 by Archbishop Bruno, who played a significant role in the development and establishment of the archbishopric. In the "Wreath of Cologne Churches" enter 12 temples, including the church of St. Panteleimon. Churches are called "wreaths", as if a wreath surround the Cologne Cathedral.

At first, the temple had the appearance of a hall church, and in the 13th century it was rebuilt into a three-nave basilica. The temple has survived in the temple - a symbol of imperial greatness and power.

Sarcophagus of Empress Feofano

The church became the resting place of Empress Feofano, who helped Bishop Bruno in its construction. The Empress has an important role in the development of German culture and spirituality in general. Historians believe that it was thanks to the efforts of Feofano that the relics of St. Panteleimon were transferred to Cologne, and then placed in the church during its construction.

Central nave of the church

The Church of St. Panteleimon is one of the most revered Christian churches in the world, since the relics of the ancient Christian St. Panteleimon rest here. Archbishop Bruno I and Empress Feofano, wife of King Ottone II, are also buried here. In 2005, Pope Benedict XVI visited the temple.

During the war, the interior of the temple was evacuated. But the building itself was badly damaged. The restoration dragged on for decades. Currently, church services are held. And its interior is striking in its wealth and luxury.

How do I save on hotels?

Everything is very simple - look not only at the booking. I prefer the search engine RoomGuru. He is looking for discounts at the same time on Booking and on 70 other booking sites.
