So much history throughout this stunning Dom. Free to walk in on the first floor, where you get a view of the mosaic ceilings and top to bottom, stained glass. The climb to the top of the tower is also easy and accessible. This is a must see when visiting Aachen.

My visit to Aachen Cathedral in 2014 was a fascinating journey into the heart of history and art. The cathedral's rich architectural heritage and religious significance left a lasting impression, making it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and culture lovers. The intricate design and craftsmanship of the cathedral's interior were awe-inspiring. The golden mosaics and beautifully adorned chapels showcased the skill of the artisans who created this magnificent place of worship. The Palatine Chapel, in particular, stood out with its unique octagonal shape and exquisite detailing. The historical importance of Aachen Cathedral as the coronation site of numerous German kings added to its allure. Standing in the same space where centuries of royal history unfolded was a humbling experience that transported me back in time. The cathedral's surroundings, including the charming Old Town and the nearby Elisenbrunnen, provided an excellent backdrop for exploring the city's cultural offerings. However, the experience could have been enhanced with more detailed information provided at various points within the cathedral. While the architecture spoke volumes, additional signage or guided tours would have provided deeper insights into its historical and religious significance. Overall, Aachen Cathedral is a treasure trove of art, history, and spirituality that should not be missed. Despite the minor lack of information, the beauty and cultural value of this UNESCO World Heritage Site make it a compelling destination for anyone with an appreciation for the past and the wonders of architectural excellence.

A pretty cool place to visit. The architecture is very intricate on the outside. It’s amazing how detailed the inside is. Seems like every square inch of this place is as decorative as possible. The stained glass is a sight to see. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy elaborate architecture. A pretty casual environment. You’re pretty much free to walk around at your leisure and enjoy it at your pace.

If you love gothic places, this is your moment! You can get awesome pics and if the sky is grey, you will feel how the witchy vibes increase 🙌❤️

I was in awe to visit this church, no wonder it is the first site to be granted UNESCO World Heritage in Germany. Vistors are allowed starting at 1pm, you have to pay extra to enter the area where Charlemagne's grave is. It is really worth a visit. Very impressive. Pictures does not do the justice on how beautiful it is.

Impressive, unparalleled. Middle ages, Charlemagne, Barbarossa....i don't wont to repeat the trivial things - check Wiki... If you come around 10 am you probably will be lucky to book a same day guided tour ( German/English). With this tour you can see some areas of the Cathedral that are not accessible otherwise. Absolutely worth visiting.

One important historical landmark in the city of Aachen, Germany. Situated in the heart of city centre of the Aachen city. I would say a must visit place in this city. Inside the cathedral it’s so beautiful. Entry is free. From outside also it’s huge and also beautiful.

This is a very beautiful cathedral absolutely worth a visit. I was really impressed by the beautiful artwork in the cathedral. There was a fee of 1 EUR to take pictures, but that was absolutely OK considering that there is no entrance fee.

Beautiful cathedral with a striking architecture and details. Definitely worth a visit. Photos are allowed, and you are kindly asked to leave 1€ at the entrance to do so.

Beautiful Church I was amazed! I thought for a while I'm in a mosque! I saw many "islamic pattern" This church is strongly influenced by Islamic art!

Really beautiful church. Visit is more than recommended. This is definitely on of Aachen highlights. Free ticket to the church, if you have time include the treasury which is a bit further, but course it is payed. Not here like google maps indicates.

Very nice cathedral. Built by Charlemagne. Has two very distinctive architectural styles, Roman and medieval European. Not too busy and you can get guided tours.

Impressive history. Unusually shaped church. Incredible interior artwork. We have visited four or five times and see something new with every visit, especially depending on the hour of the day and the amount of light on the windows.

Gorgeous cathedral with wonderful details all over the ceiling. You pay €1 for taking pictures inside (fair price) and €3 to go to the roof and see the city form there. Definitely worth visiting.

This is a beautiful cathedral inside and out. Really worth a visit. You need to pay to take photos inside, if I had had my DSLR with me, I would have paid. It’s very beautiful inside.

Small cathedral, you can attend mass in the morning and afternoon about 1, they allow you to have a tour inside. Be sure to bring coins with you if you want to take an Instagramable pic as you'll pay a euro for that spot. Amazing view inside and be sure to be quiet

Very beautiful architecture inside and outside. One of the few cathedrals with no entrance fee but a very rich design

Majestic and huge church with intricate designs on the ceilings and floors inside. Very aesthetic and something very different from other cathedrals. A must recommend. Free to enter. You can also take pictures but you’d need to deposit 1 euro coin for taking pictures, which I think is justifiable as the interior is so beautiful.

Aachen Cathedral is a masterpiece that left me in awe. The intricate architecture and historical significance make it a must-visit. The blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles creates a captivating atmosphere. The cathedral's role in history, housing Charlemagne's Palatine Chapel, adds another layer of fascination. A truly enriching experience for history and architecture enthusiasts

Over 1200 years old this Cathedral contains history of Charlemagne and the Middle Ages. The architecture is fascinating and the artwork is incredibly beautiful and meaningful. This is a church and is used today for Catholic masses. The golden reliquaries are beautiful and contain the bones of Charlemagne and the diaper and loincloth of Jesus. Look high to see the ceiling with all of its splendor and look low to see an amazingly laid out floor. Free to the public. No tickets for entrance is necessary. Restrooms are just next door and cost .50 Euro and are clean. Visit the Dom Information center to join a tour for a small fee. I highly recommend the tour. Get your tour ticket as soon as you arrive to get the time and language preferred. You get to see the throne, go upstairs, and go behind the altar. Our guide was an architectural student and provided lots of historical insight. Be sure to visit the gift shop. They have an amazing and wide variety of different religious, historical, and regional items. The staff is very helpful and welcoming. Walk to the Cathedral from Aachen HBF or take a bus to the Elisenbrunnen stop. You can easily buy tickets from the bus drivers. The entire area around the Cathedral is worth a visit.

A very beautiful cathedral with breathtaking views. The surroundings are so beautiful and peaceful. Although the city is so vibrant and busy you cannot feel this when you are so close to the cathedral where everything is so calm.

It is a really singular cathedral (with a unique distribution of the main chambers) in comparison to the standard concept of cathedral that one could think about. During Christmas, it is surrounded by the Christmas market, which makes it even more special. I think it would be great, if they would allow us to get into the top of the cathedral to see the views.

A masterpiece of medieval architecture, it stands as a monumental testament to Charlemagne’s reign, and it blends Romanesque and Gothic styles in its grand design. Renowned for its Palatine Chapel and intricate mosaics, it has been a pilgrimage site and a coronation church for German kings, embodying centuries of European history and artistry.

Absolutely stunning cathedral, along with an amazing and historic Christmas market right outside. 100% worth seeing! The inside of the cathedral is jam packed with intriguing designs all over.

Really nice building located in the heart of Aachen. It is quick to see and audio guides are provided. There are about 4-5 rooms on the ground floor. And the a huge room on the top floor. Each room has a different theme and history.

The City Hall is really pretty with a very historical exterior. If you visit Aachen, you will have to go there anyway. The bug hall in front is such a beautiful place to admire, especially on a sunny day.

Marvelous place, total beauty 😍

You should visit this building only if you are history and / or architecture enthusiasts. It cost 6 euro to go around and it takes 30 minutes for a tour. There are great paintings and the building was recently renovated. They have guides, but as I wrote, you should know this place’s history at a certain level to truly appreciate.

Another extraordinary historical building in Aachen worth visiting. I could not go into the building and visit however it’s quite spectacular from the outside too. Worth checking out when visiting Aachen.

A place with lots of history. But I definitely think there should be a more comprehensive guide and description of what has happened in the history. The building itself is wonderful, the agency organizing it has lots to improve.

Aachen has a historical and very beautiful municipality. It is the most important place to visit in this region. It is located in the center of Aachen. There are also great bars and cafes around Aachen town hall. You can drink very good German beers or taste great coffee and cakes here. In addition, Aachen is a place with extremely beautiful forests and green areas. I advise.

Impressive building and historical landmark

Good view of the cathedral, and over all city. Some historical facts for an entrance fee of 6 euros

You can enter the museum for oñly 3euro if you are students. This place serves a great view of Aachen dom. Also liked the interior

Great interactive touch screens and audio in multiple languages that explain the events and time line from various historical figures as it relates to and around Aachen. Great architecture in the rooms displayed.

After Dom this is the coolest place to visit! You will definitely not be bored in this museum.

Aachen Town Hall is a landmark of cultural significance located in the Altstad of Aachen. It was built in the Gothic style in the first half of the 14th century. The building itself is amazing. We didn't enter inside, but from outside is outstanding.

The building is so nice in terms of architecture, however I am not sure if the entrance fee for the museums worths or not since there are only arts, but you still can see the interior architecture.

The telephone room was a great insight. And the details of the art are great. It is truly astonishing 😲 Students get discounts, so do carry your student card.

The city hall of Aachen is a very cool and historic place. The crown jewels given to the king or queen of Aachen is stored here behind a glass wall. It is valued at about 1 million euros. The hall itself is where many people such as Henry Kissinger (he unfortunately died the day this post is being written) were celebrated and inaugurated. I definitely reccomend visiting the city hall if you are in the area, especially at night. I also highly reccomend getting a tour guide to explain all the culture and history.

Great historical monument it's lit well during the night

The City Hall of Aachen, a very old and beautiful building. A lot of historical artifacts inside as long as animated interactive movies that show the history of the city. In addition there are also a lot of photoes and videos of how the city used to look, as long as footage from the World War II. Totally worth visiting when in Aachen.

Very interesting and well organised exhibition. There are some things written in English but not everything is translated, so I would suggest to improve that. Also, you have to leave your bags inside a locker (bring 1€ or 2€ coins as you need one of those to make it work; you’ll get it back), so bring your cellphone (pictures allowed), wallet and tissues with you. We took maybe 45 minutes here, before going to the Cathedral.

The staff of the museum hit me screaming and pushed me with violence all the way out because, in their opinion, my mask was not perfectly on my nose. This is crazy and unacceptable. Plus, at the ticket office, they breached European Law as they were not supposed to check personal information on the covid certificate whether one is vaccinated or recovered. they did. A very, very bad and traumatising experience.

Definitely worth to visit! Tickets could be bought from the information center.

Little, but very rich expositon. You will definitely not be bored in this museum.

The Aachen Cathedral Treasury should pretty much a visit to Aachen Cathedral with an extra payment for entrance. It’s definitely worth the entrance fee to see all the treasures of the cathedral, especially the golden bust of Charlemange, all the Charlemagne reliquaries and dozens of other saint reliquaries, and the Cross of Lothar. There’s also some fantastic works of art by various goldsmiths, sculptures and the likes. Definitely a must see in Aachen.

I can describe the treasury with one word “Incredible”. The place is a bit hidden, well not really, it is close to the cathedral, but it is not inside the cathedral like google maps says. It is on its surroundings. Look for the shop, in front of the shop there’s a ticket office, there you get your tickets (cash/card), right in front of the ticket office is the entrance to the treasury. If you arrive a bit over the closing hour, go quickly to the inner court or patio because it closes first. Take a quick look and then go to the treasury. The treasury is not that big, there’s the main floor which will take most of the time, it is about 6 rooms or so where you would find the main collection. Top floor has a bit more with some displays still being developed (at the time writing this review there were missing texts even in German), but I’d say is the half of the ground floor. The lower floor, like the basement consists of a big room with just a few things to see. I’d say the whole visit could take you 30 minutes to an hours. Depending on how interested you are, if you got an audio guide, and if you are doing a guided tour. Although not a long visit, I think it’s perfect. It goes right to the point, you see really incredible and unique treasure of the former Collegiate Church and current Cathedral of Aachen. If you go to Aachen this is a must. You truly can’t missed it and the price is also cheap, about €6 so no excuse.

Good displays and exhibits displaying some Ancient objects of medieval and Dark ages objects. Interesting maps as well as statues. 6 Euros to enter , can be done in 30 mins .

UNESCO world heritage and a definite must see when visiting Aachen. The Aachen Cathedral Treasury holds the most important and extensive church treasure north of the Alps. Together with the cathedral, the cathedral treasury was added to the UNESCO list in 1978 as the first German World Heritage Site. In the treasury, about 100 works of art are exhibited on three floors according to themes, representing the different functions and aspects of St. Mary's Church.

The best cathedral I have ever visited. It’s not a gigantic building but has a historical architecture. And I was impressed by the interior design. Its stained glass was amazing, delicately beautiful. Also its marble columns and mosaic murals were also remarkable.

Imagine strolling through the Aachen Cathedral Treasury, where each artifact feels like a whispered tale from centuries past. It's as if the walls themselves share the secrets of time. Picture the craftsmen, their hands imbued with dedication, creating these treasures that now beckon you with a silent invitation. This isn't just a visit; it's a conversation with history, a chance to feel the pulse of those who once held these very items. As you stand there, surrounded by the echoes of the past, you can almost sense the spirit of the place—a living connection to the people and stories that shaped it. It's not just about admiring artifacts; it's about embracing the humanity within them, a touch of the past reaching out to touch you in return. The Aachen Cathedral Treasury is more than a collection; it's a bridge across time, inviting you to step into the lives and dreams of those who came before.

The treasures were really beautiful and it was fun to learn about the history of the city. It was absolutely worth looking.

Pretty great for such a small city, maybe a bit pricey. Also sad that the relics are encased in glass. I think some of them aught to be accessible for worshipers to touch devotional items to (that's the point of relics, after all)

You can almost miss the entrance, but if you leave the cathedral, walk away heading slightly right, past the toilet and 'gift' shop. Turn right at the corner. Walk up to the entrance on your right. You need to leave all your bags in a locker (€1 tunable refundable deposit), ppl under 21 are free. Really brilliant set of 'tresures' to view, plenty of info in English, but very interesting viewing regardless.

A very cute metallic sculpture that is fascinating. The puppets are mobile in some parts of their body and you can touch and ply with them freely. I was actually wandering around the city and found them by chance. Lovely thing to see in the middle of a shopping street. Recommend to see while in Aachen.

Very nice iron mechanical monument.

I'll admit that it is whimsical and certainly worth a look. A charming set of figures and masks are perched around the fountain which is somewhat hemmed in by the surrounding buildings.

The 'doll fountain' opened in 1975 shows the story of the City and the people living there... Fun and worth a look when in Aachen.

A very intruiging statue that moves and shifts with a gentle push. It is definitely not a major attraction to see, but its interesting to see if you are on the way to another place.

The vibe around is quite nice and this old narrow street is very cute. So the area around the puppenbrunnen is worth visiting.

It's a small fountain in the city center. The only difference is that the kids can play a little with artifacts since they move.

Amazing place!

This "brunnen" are all over downtown Aachen. This pupets are nice. Plus, you'll always see pedestrian comedy along this walk. Totally recomended.

A quick stop, but there’s not much to see. I would have liked to learn a little more about the history of this place and about the properties of the thermal water, but maybe I missed this information somewhere? You can look everything online these days, but sometimes you just prefer to have the information on the spot.

Great place to visit in Aachen. But do nor touch the water, it smells bad and if you touch it, your hands will smell. Try jumping in the center and you'll hear a nice echo!

Nice historical site, and good place to chill in a sunny day. The signs and descriptions that tells the history and story of Aachen can definitely be improved…

Constructed by Friedrich Joseph Arkden between 1822 and 1827, inspired by ancient Roman architecture, it features two large arched entrances topped with a simple yet striking roof structure. The thermal water emanating from here is high in mineral content, particularly rich in sulfur...

What a beautiful place and the perfect place to say to someone 'let's meet at Elisenbrunnen'. Fantastic park and restaurant as well.

Hall with hot water springs at the centre of Aachen town, from where one can proceed to Altstadt, Hauptbahnhof, few blocks of RWTH by foot and other suburbs by bus.

Prächtige, historische Brunnenhalle, die gerade bei Dunkelheit (siehe Foto) seine Reize zeigt. Hier sprudelt die schwefelhaltige Kaiserquelle empor. Somit ist auch der 'Pupsgeruch' erklärbar. Gleichzeitig haben wir hier noch das Restaurant und das EisCafé 'Elisenbrunnen'. Die verarzte ich gerne beim nächsten Besuch in Aachen... 🫣 (Translated by Google) Magnificent, historic fountain hall, which shows its charm especially in the dark (see photo). The sulphurous Kaiserquelle bubbles up here. This also explains the 'fart smell'. At the same time we still have the restaurant and the ice cream café here 'Elisenbrunnen'. I'll be happy to treat her next time I'm in Aachen... 🫣

It's a good place to hang out. In addition to its historical background, the place has a wonderful garden around it. At night, the building looks beautiful because of the lights and the fountain.

Ein echt toller Ort zum verweilen 😊☀️ (Translated by Google) A really great place to stay 😊☀️

Beautiful building with a lot of history. Visited the place on Christmas and there was a huge market. Lots of hot wine and pieces of sweet. Totally worth a visit

It's my central marker in Aachen. Seeing the Brunnen means I am where I need to be. Sunlight seeping in around 3 or 4 o clock and a place full of happy faces. Aachen has a good number of junky/ beggers, and they unfortunately use the Brunnen to have a bath sometimes.

Best dining experience in germany. We fell in love with their food and service.wish we would live closer. Special thanks to their managing director.what a nice guy! 5 stars for food,service and ambience

A highlight of Aachen, with its thermal water fountains, list of historical visitors and a history of the resilience of Aachen and Germany

The best place for relaxation. The night times are much better for date and or for enjoying the city

Wunderschöner Brunnen mit äußerst interessanter Geschichte! Viele Texte, sodass man schnell die Geschichte des Elisenbrunnen versteht und darüber staunen kann! Die kleinen Wasserfontänen vor dem Brunnen sind immer ein Spaß für kleinere Kinder! Und die Bauweise dieser Sehenswürdigkeit ist auch ein Besuch wert! (Translated by Google) Beautiful fountain with an extremely interesting history! Lots of texts so you can quickly understand and marvel at the history of the Elisenbrunnen! The small water fountains in front of the fountain are always fun for smaller children! And the construction of this attraction is also worth a visit!

I liked the layout and information given, and was really impressed by the use of old iPhones as audioguides. It is however a bit of lacking if you happen to have a 4 y.o. child accompanying you.

Really worth the visit! About one and a half hours is perfect. Lots of very interesting history starting at Roman times and working its way to present. Lots of interesting artifacts and paintings/photos to see. Entry very reasonable, only 6 €.

A very important museum of Aachen, not as the Treasure of the Dome but organiced with help of mes tecnologíes. The only fall IS that aren't any phrase nor book in spanish lenguage, a piti because many spanish speaking people can' t understand the matter. On the other side some of the reception's people don't speak english and this disturb a lot. But I advise to visita It better if hoy know gernany lenguage.

Small place but a good place to learn the history of Aachen. Friendly staff and comfortable waiting room.

A small and modern museum where you can see the history of Aachen chronologically. It's very well-designed both to preserve the artifacts and to help visitors examine them better. The entrance fee is 6 Euros.

Very outstanding city museum! Good interactions with displays and user-friendly explanations. Also the items are enhibited in an artistic and attractive way.

Small but fascinating museum full of the local history around Charlemagne and similar. Easy to get around with lifts for wheelchair users, and ample space to get around the exhibits. Helpful staff and good facilities, disabled toilet was also clean, well kept, and had plenty of space to get around to use it. The museum is right next to the Cathedral, and there is a Weinachtsmarkt in the area in December so it may be busy. The ramp to access the wheelchair entrance is also built in to the steps, we had some difficulty going along here as a school trip (or similar group) were using the steps to pose for photos and sit for lunch/break.

Very interesting and interactive place. Great for families with kids.

An interesting city museum starting with the Romans to modern times. The focus is of course on Charlemagne. Who founded the city. His life and work is present everywhere in the city. The museum offers changing exhibitions. Plan for 2 hours.r

We only had 45 minutes to devote to this museum before our train, but that worked. A nice collection of relics from the time and Romans. The mail shirt felt remarkably heavy.

A wonderful museum, worth a good hour and a half. Takes you through the history of the city with a special focus on Charlemagne. The location of the museum is fantastic and all of the staff were friendly. Don't miss the exhibition upstairs!

De ani de zile am dorit să revin la Aachen pentru a vizita orașul dar mai ales Centrul Charlemagne, unde speram să găsesc mult mai multe informații despre măreția acelei perioade marcate de viața și lupta uneia din marile personalități ale istoriei lumii. În 768, când a preluat tronul întregii Francii, regatul avea un teritoriu ceva mai mare ca Franţa de azi, cuprinzând în nord Belgia şi Olanda, în est sudul şi centrul Germaniei. Urmărind proiectul sau, a dus o politică de cuceriri, astfel că a lăsat urmaşilor un imperiu în ale cărui graniţe intrau şi teritorii care astăzi constituie partea de nord a Italiei, Elveţia, Germania, Cehia, Austria, Slovenia, Croaţia, Slovacia şi Ungaria. În Enciclopedia de Istorie Militară Universală se specifică faptul că „bilanţul militar impresionant al lui Carol peste 60 de expediţii victorioase se datorează talentului organizatoric şi unei capacităţi de comandă puţin obişnuite”. Pentru a şi extinde Imperiul, Carol a dus numeroase războaie cu regate vecine sau cu diverse popoare organizate în triburi: a cucerit în anul 774 Regatul longobard, a învins popoare slave, pe saxoni şi avari, apoi nordul Spaniei. În acelaşi timp, prin cuceriri şi prestigiul căpătat în Europa, devine şi protectorul Statului Papal de la Roma. Urmare a cuceririlor şi a acţiunii de creştinare a popoarelor din estul regatului franc, pentru condamnarea unor teze religioase promulgate de bizantini, în 24 decembrie 800, Papa Leon III îl încoronează cu titlul de împărat. Acest titlu îi va fi recunoscut şi de împăratul Bizanţului. Pentru a putea administra vastul său imperiu, Carol a organizat administrativ teritoriul în pagi („sat” în latină) şi a instituit un sistem mixt – laic şi religios – de control. Apoi, în anul 794, a întemeiat o nouă capitală pentru imperiul său Aachen. La moartea sa, survenită în 814 la Aachen (este înmormântat în dom), a lăsat un imperiu creştin puternic, cu multe cetăţi de apărare. Acest imperiu avea organizate: curtea regală, justiţia şi biserica, precum şi şcoala. În ceea ce priveşte învăţământul, este de reţinut că a înfiinţat şcoala pe lângă Catedrala din Aachen şi că, în timpul său, a fost alcătuit un alfabet pe baza căruia a fost fundamentat actualul alfabet latin. Pentru apărarea teritoriilor Imperiului şi chiar extinderea acestuia, Carol cel Mare a instituit un sistem de organizare, de dotare şi de recrutare a personalului. Recrutarea pentru armată se făcea în „raport de întinderea pământului deţinut de fiecare locuitor”(conform V. Zodian, A. Pantea, M. Zodian – Enciclopedie de istorie militară, Ed. Militară, 2006, pag. 59). (Translated by Google) For years I wanted to return to Aachen to visit the city but especially the Charlemagne Center, where I hoped to find much more information about the greatness of that period marked by the life and struggle of one of the great personalities of world history. In 768, when he took over the throne of the entire Francia, the kingdom had a territory somewhat larger than today's France, including Belgium and the Netherlands in the north, southern and central Germany in the east. Pursuing his project, he pursued a policy of conquests, so he left to his descendants an empire whose borders included the territories that today constitute the northern part of Italy, Switzerland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia and Hungary. In the Encyclopedia of Universal Military History it is specified that "Carol's impressive military record of over 60 victorious expeditions is due to his organizational talent and unusual commanding ability". In order to expand his Empire, Charles waged numerous wars with neighboring kingdoms or with various peoples organized in tribes: in 774 he conquered the Longobard Kingdom, defeated the Slavic peoples, the Saxons and the Avars, then the north of Spain. At the same time, through conquests and the prestige gained in Europe, he also becomes the protector of the Papal State in Rome. Following the conquests and the Christianization of the peoples of the eastern Frankish kingdom, for the condemnation of some religious theses promulgated by the Byzantines, on December 24, 800, Pope Leo III crowns him with the title of emperor. This title will also be recognized by the emperor of Byzantium. In order to administer his vast empire, Carol administratively organized the territory into pagi ("village" in Latin) and instituted a mixed - secular and religious - system of control. Then, in 794, he founded a new capital for his empire at Aachen. Upon his death, which occurred in 814 in Aachen (he is buried in the cathedral), he left behind a strong Christian empire with many defense fortresses. This empire was organized: the royal court, the judiciary and the church, as well as the school. Regarding education, it should be noted that he founded the school next to the Aachen Cathedral and that, during his time, an alphabet was created on the basis of which the current Latin alphabet was founded. For the defense of the territories of the Empire and even its expansion, Charlemagne instituted a system of organization, equipment and personnel recruitment. Recruitment for the army was done "according to the extent of the land owned by each inhabitant" (according to V. Zodian, A. Pantea, M. Zodian - Encyclopedia of military history, Military Ed., 2006, page 59).

Don't be an immigrant in this museum, otherwise the security guards won't stop following you

Second time here:) new contributions and new inspirations 🤩 nice staff offer me special price for student under 21 🎈

The collection is rich and there are many modern imitations, detailing all aspects of the society during the Charlemagne period.

Might be good if you speak German. If you don’t, I would strongly advise to not waste your time. You have no idea about what you are seeing, everything is in German
