Cologne Cathedral
Twin openwork spires rise above a dense façade of arches, pinnacles and sculpted stone-coloured detail. This model of Cologne Cathedral is built to reward both the distant view of its skyline and the close view of the repeated Gothic forms that run along the nave.
Flying buttresses step outward from the main walls, pointed windows break up the long sides, and the transept and choir give the building a convincing shape from several directions. The towers bring a different rhythm to the build, moving from broad entrance work to increasingly delicate upper sections and the narrow tips above them.
The dark-bordered base gives the cathedral a clear setting and leaves its long silhouette easy to follow. Window tracery, layered roofs and the repeated buttresses create a different pattern along each side of the building. From the familiar twin-tower front to the choir at the rear, the model offers a succession of Gothic forms that reward viewing from several directions.

Gothic detail from ground to spire
Twin openwork towers and repeated buttresses make Cologne Cathedral rewarding from distant and close-up views.
Build towards the twin spires
The broad west front rises into increasingly delicate upper sections. Openwork forms and narrow tower tips give the cathedral its familiar skyline above the lower arches.
Follow the buttresses along the nave
Repeated supports step out from the long walls, with pointed windows and pinnacles between them. Their rhythm creates a different pattern along the sides from the busy tower front.
Explore the transept and choir
The crosswise and rear forms give the building depth beyond its most familiar façade. Layered roofs and a defined base keep the full architectural outline clear from changing angles.
