Aachen - Cathedral Treasury

The Aachen Cathedral Treasury ("Aachener Domschatz") is one of the largest and most important treasuries of medieval Christian artworks in Europe. The treasury has over a hundred works that are exhibited in a museum adjacent to the Aachen Cathedral – the monumental church of Charlemagne, which together with the treasury was added to the first UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list in 1978.
