Dominican Church of St. Andrew

The Dominican Church of St. Andrew in Cologne stands out for its transition between architectural eras, featuring a heavy Romanesque nave and west end built between eleven eighty and twelve forty-five, contrasted against a soaring Gothic choir added in the fifteenth century. As one of the twelve great Romanesque basilicas of Cologne, its structure merges these two distinct styles into a single, unified building that sits just a short walk from the city’s cathedral.
