Historic Churches of Aachen
Aachen’s religious heritage is anchored by its UNESCO-listed cathedral, the first German site to receive the designation and final resting place of Charlemagne. This collection spans centuries of architectural styles, including the Renaissance Jesuit architecture of St. Michael’s, the Neo-Romanesque St. Jakob with its 87-meter spire, and the Baroque Annakirche. These sites represent a diverse spiritual history, featuring Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Greek Orthodox traditions alongside former Franciscan and Jesuit monastic buildings.
