🌟✨ Eerie splendor: the Golden Chamber of St. Ursula in Cologne
🕊️💀 Just a few steps away from Cologne Cathedral is one of the most extraordinary sacred rooms in Europe: the Golden Chamber of St. Ursula. This Baroque treasure chamber, established in 1643, is a fascinating testimony to the „Memento Mori“ idea and the cultivation of relics in the Baroque period.
