Aachen Cathedral - a photo on Flickriver

Aachen Cathedral

Aachen Cathedral is a Roman-Catholic church. Its patron saint has always been the Virgin Mary. That St Mary‘s Church actually became a cathedral, in other words an episcopal church, is actually the result of recent rather than ancient history. Up to the French Revolution (1789-1799), Aachen‘s churches all belonged to the Diocese of Liege, and today‘s Cathedral was a collegiate and parish church.

In 1978, in view of its outstanding historical, artistic and architectural importance, Aachen Cathedral became the very first site in Germany, and one of the first twelve sites worldwide, to be admitted into the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
