Cologne Cathedral Postcard

The postcard actually shows, I believe, the portals (or doors?). The Cologne Cathedral is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne and is dedicated to Saint Peter and the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1996, the cathedral was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, being one of the best-known architectural monuments in Germany, and described by UNESCO as an "exceptional work of human creative genius".
