What’s next after the wonderful brunch @ haxenhaus? Well, we walked to the Cathedral Treasury (Domschatzkammer). It was a beautiful winter day : )

Up to this point, we already reached Cologne Cathedral : )

Silly BearBee, we had been looking around the way to get in to the Cathedral Treasury, walking up & down inside the Cathedral… … Finally, we got to know the entrance from the staff of the souvenir shop ^ ^

Cathedral Treasury (Domschatzkammer)

“Cologne Cathedral’s priceless collection of treasures dates back as far as the 9th century. Since autumn 2000 its riches have been presented in newly designed exhibition space (approx. 500 m²) in the extended 13th century vaulted cellars on the north side of the cathedral. Over 200 exquisite reliquaries, liturgical artefacts and vestments, archiepiscopal and cathedral clergy insignia from the 4th to the 20th century, medieval sculptures and Frankish grave finds can be seen in six rooms. St. Peter’s staff and chains are among the most significant exhibits. Guided tours on request.”

Admission fees for adult is €4. Click here for more details, Der Kolner Dom & KolnTourismus

That was our final stop in Cologne. Taking photo inside is not allowed. We spent like 2 hrs there, that’s impressive! I wish I could stay longer, but we were running out of time, we gotta collect our baggage from the hostel and get to the Airport on time : (
