点评:Since Medieval times, Cologne has been known for its 12 Romanesque churches. During our one day stay in the city on a river cruise, we got to see the 6 closest to the river, and of those, this was the second-best interior. St. Maria im Kapitol was one of the larger churches we saw. Unlike Gross St. Martin, its exterior is not impressive, but its interior is beautiful Romanesque stonework.
All 6 of the churches we visited were great visits and totally free. All were also built around the 9th-11th centuries when Romanesque was the dominate architecture. In addition to its rounded arches, it has heavy walls and smaller windows, all functions of this style. However, where some are more basic, Santa Maria im Kapitol has a 3-apse sanctuary behind its stone choir screen which are all beautiful gathering spaces. The Nave is more basic but still a beautiful setting.
The best thing is St. Maria im Kapitol opens at 9:00 which is after most cruises arrive but before many of the other sights like the museums. This way you can visit before the museums open. The other good thing is we saw St. Maria im Kapitol, St. Georg's and St. Maria in Lyskirchen all before the Chocolate Museum opened at 10:00. The other benefit is that the crowds were light and we nearly had all three churches to ourselves.
While I like all the Romanesque churches we saw, this was my second favorite due to its size and beautiful stonework. If you are limited by time, I think this is a good one to see. It is also close to the riverfront where the cruises dock. All this combines to make this a great attraction to see while you are in Cologne.
翻译:自中世纪以来,科隆就以其12座罗马式教堂而闻名。在我们乘坐游轮在科隆停留的一天里,我们参观了其中6座靠近河岸的教堂,而圣玛利亚·伊姆·卡皮托尔教堂(St. Maria im Kapitol)的内部装饰在我们参观的教堂中排名第二。它是我们参观过的规模较大的教堂之一。与大圣马丁教堂(Gross St. Martin)不同,它的外观并不令人印象深刻,但其内部装饰却拥有精美的罗马式石雕。
我们参观的这6座教堂都非常棒,而且完全免费。它们都建于9至11世纪,当时罗马式建筑风格占据主导地位。除了圆拱之外,它还拥有厚重的墙壁和较小的窗户,这些都是该风格的典型特征。然而,与其他一些较为简朴的教堂不同,圣玛利亚·伊姆·卡皮托尔教堂在石质唱诗班屏风后方设有一个三殿式圣所,这些圣所都是绝佳的聚会场所。教堂的中殿虽然较为朴素,但依然营造出一种优美的氛围。
最棒的是,圣玛利亚教堂(St. Maria im Kapitol)早上9点才开放,虽然大多数游轮已经抵达,但许多其他景点(例如博物馆)却还没到。这样一来,你就可以在博物馆开门前参观教堂了。另一个好处是,我们在巧克力博物馆10点开门前,参观了圣玛利亚教堂、圣乔治教堂和圣玛利亚教堂(St. Maria in Lyskirchen)。此外,人也不多,我们几乎独享了这三座教堂。
虽然我很喜欢我们参观的所有罗马式教堂,但这座教堂是我第二喜欢的,因为它规模宏大,石雕精美。如果你时间有限,我认为这里是个不错的选择。它离游轮停靠的河岸也很近。所有这些因素加在一起,使它成为你在科隆旅行期间不容错过的景点。
