Kartäuserkirche

The Kartäuserkirche exhibits pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, demonstrating the essential characteristics of medieval church construction methods.

Built in the 14th century as part of the Cologne Charterhouse, the church served as a spiritual center for Carthusian monks until the dissolution of monasteries.

The church maintains its dual role by functioning as both a religious institution and a venue for musical performances, readings, and community activities.

Visitors can access the church daily between 12:00 and 18:00, except on Tuesdays, with regular masses and guided tours available throughout the week.

The building integrates a kindergarten and family center within its premises, combining religious heritage with modern social services for the local population.
