gross st. martin印象

This is one of the buildings I really love in Cologne. Never got the chance to go inside when I was living there in the late 1970s as it was still being reconstructed. But I have to say that it is not that big of a tourist attraction. If you are looking to see what a Cologne romanesque church really looked like, go see St Maria Lyskirchen, which got through the war without a scratch. That cannot be said for Gross St Martin. It was heavily damaged. The restoration is pretty good, architecturally, but the interior decorations and paintings are long gone. There are Roman ruins under the main hall which are interesting to visit (small charge) and I do recommend doing that if you go. Currently the church is run by a small community of priests, and it is not always open (especially during August when the community goes on vacation). Recommended if you are walking by the entrance and have a few minutes to spare. Other churches are more worth a special trip.

The inside of the church was under renovation, so you will end entering and find nothing much. The outside is another story: beautiful building. The neighborhood is very nice too.

This church was partially destroyed during the war, but has been restored. It is a bit sparse in the inside but this is due to being put back together. There are interesting statues and a very large interior. It is worth a visit while in Cologne.

Simple yet grand. The Great St Martin Church was particularly interesting especially with its history of rebuilding and the ruins of the Roman Chapel. I stood in amazement of the restoration work.

This 13th C church in romanesque style looks very impressive on the outside but is rather sparsely decorated on the inside. There are archeological excavations below the floor from the Roman period which you can view for 0,50 euro.

From outside it is quite impressive. From inside it is rather simple, but quite nice anyway. Strange that it is almost built-in in another buildings around, why they should do that?

When you just visited the Dom, this one is going to be a disappointment. Of course it is from a different category but nevertheless it was not one of churches I will remember. Skip it, there are far better places to go in Cologne.

The church is nice outside, but very little information is available, and what is does not come in English. We had to google it when we got back to the hotel to research the details. Very quiet, almost no one there.

Situated in one of the most beautiful area of the old town,this church is far more impressive viewed from the outside.The inside part is rather plain,colorless,not very adorned.Badly damaged in WW II,almost totally destroyed,it was completely rebuilt and now is the second most beautiful church in Koln,in my opinion.When I visited it,around 9:30 in the morning,a nun was playing the flute,creating an very peaceful atmosphere.

As my review history may suggest I am an old church fan. Great St. Martin has a unique and beautiful exterior. That is about all I can say about it. The interior is basically gutted with a bare stone alter and a few folding chairs. The good friars in attendance do sing the liturgy of the hours throughout the day if that sort of thing interests you. You really should take a look at the outside, particularly from the river, but you can save yourself the trouble of finding the small entrance hidden towards the rear of one side as there is really nothing to see inside.
