St. Gereon's Basilica

St. Gereon's Basilica (Sankt Gereon) is a basilica church in Cologne dedicated to Saint Gereon. Begun in 1067, it was built in the Romanesque style of architecture. The ten-sided central vault dates back to 1220 and was built on the remains of Roman walls, which are still visible.[1]

Ernst Seifert built an organ there in 1898. Andreas Dilthey worked on its interior.
