The building of the '''Cologne Cathedral''' Begun in 1248, the construction of this [[Gothic]] masterpiece took place in several stages and was not completed until 1880. Over seven centuries, successive builders were inspired by the same faith and a spirit of absolute fidelity to the original plans. Apart from its exceptional intrinsic value and the artistic masterpieces it contains, Cologne Cathedral testifies to the enduring strength of European [[Christianity]].<ref>http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/292</ref>
