Church of St. Maria in Lyskirchen

St.Maria in Lyskirchen survived two major catastrophes almost unscathed: In 1784 the Rhine river flooded the church and destroyed most of the interior. During WWII the roof was damaged but not the ceiling with paintings dating back to the 13th century.

A very little quaint church. If you weren't looking for it you would miss it. Very beautiful. When I went there wasnt alot of people there. So I would suggest going there to get away from the crowds. It was very peaceful inside. Very beautiful on the inside and out.

St. Mary in Lyskirchen is the smallest of the twelve large Romanesque basilicas in the old town of Cologne. The Roman Catholic parish church belongs to the archbishopric of Cologne and is located in the old town south. It was built in its present form as a three-aisled basilica between 1198/1200 and 1225. St. Mary in Lyskirchen is characterized by historical vault frescoes from the 13th century. The name Lyskirchen is probably derived from a Mr. Lisolvus or Lysolfus, who built the original building as a church of its own. The church as well as the attached sexton house and the sacristy are listed buildings.

(Translated by Google) St-Maria in Lyskirchen is the smallest of the 12 Romanesque churches in Cologne and the only one built as a parish church.
It is located directly on the Rhine, between the bridges Deutz and Severin brüche.

Relatively little has changed over the course of its existence since the early 13th century and it was the only Romanesque church not destroyed during World War Two.

At the center are the preserved ceiling paintings and wall paintings from the 13th century.

In the nave, a typological cycle has been fully preserved with illustrations from the old and new testament.

"The Beautiful Madonna" is the most famous work in the church.

(Original)
St - Maria in Lyskirchen is de kleinste van de 12 Romaanse kerken in Keulen en de enige die is gebouwd als parochiekerk.
Ze ligt direct aan de Rijn , tussen de bruggen Deutz en Severin brüche.

In de loop van haar bestaan , sinds het begin van de 13de- eeuw is er relatief weinig veranderd en was het de enige Romaanse kerk die tijdens Wereldoorlog Twee niet werd vernietigd.

Centraal staan de bewaarde plafondschilderingen en muurschilderingen uit de 13de- eeuw.

In het middenschip is een typologische cyclus volledig behouden met illustraties uit het oude en nieuwe testament.

" De Mooie Madonna " is het bekendste werk in de kerk.
