St. Maria Lyskirchen, the smallest of Cologne's twelve major Romanesque churches, stands out with its 13th-century ceiling frescoes. This three-aisled gallery basilica, built between 1198 and 1225, is part of the Archdiocese of Cologne. As a protected heritage site, it exemplifies Romanesque architecture in the city's southern old town.
