Aachen Museums & Heritage
Aachen’s imperial heritage is anchored by its UNESCO-listed cathedral, one of Europe’s oldest, and its adjacent treasury housing Carolingian liturgical masterpieces. The city's history is reflected in the Gothic Town Hall, built on the foundations of Charlemagne’s palace, and the massive 14th-century city gates, Marschiertor and Ponttor. This collection also highlights Aachen's thermal culture through the Neoclassical Elisenbrunnen and the Art Nouveau Elisabethhalle, alongside significant Romanesque and Neo-Gothic ecclesiastical sites.
