Bonn, Germany: Bonn Minster

It's time in this blog for Bonn to showcase its old church downtown. The date of construction is a little vague, but it seems likely that the place may be as much as 1,000 years old. Bonn Minster became the first large church in the area.

Bonn Minster was quite important in religious circles as the home of Roman Catholics in the Cologne region of Germany. These days, it's "just another basilica." Still, the church's image is part of Bonn's official seal, which tells you something about its importance in town history.

Visitors can enter the building and look around. Guided tours are available for those who find the place really, really interesting.
