St Gereon
About St Gereon
Late Roman times and the Middle Ages come together in this unusual church, which is named after the martyr Gereon, later a patron saint of the city. the heart of the church, a late Roman oval, was integrated in the early 13th century into a tall ten-sided space with a dome.

My absolute favorite church in Köln. The unusual shape gives it a lot of charm. I was particulary impressed by the oval. The rest of the church is nice as well but this part has something special. The vault of the dome is painted red with golden drop and this combined with the light coloured by the stained glass windows gives a great effect. Take a look in the crypt as well to see the floor mosaics.
