Cologne Cathedral

Description
Built atop a Roman temple, the Cologne Cathedral is an enormous Roman Catholic cathedral in Cologne, Germany, and the seat of Cologne's Archbishop. Construction began on the cathedral in 1248, and was left unfinished almost two centuries later, in 1473. When construction finally resumed on the cathedral in the 19th century, it was under the order of the majority Protestant court of the Prussian state, following the discovery of the original plans for the building. Celebrations upon the completion of the 632 year construction project took place across Germany, with those in Cologne by far the largest and including Emperor Wilhelm I among the attendees. As such, completing the Cologne Cathedral Causes the Empire to enter a Golden Age, in addition to providing extra Culture and Great Engineer points. It becomes available at Steam Power.

Requires any expansion pack, and credit to Janboruta for the icon.

Do you think it would be more fitting to have some sort of major late-game religion boost? The was a Roman temple there, so a pantheon boost. It was begun as a Catholic Cathedral, but it was finnished as a Protestant Cathedral, so a boost for the enhanced religion.

you forgot that the bodys of the 3 holy kings(or at least the sacophagus) are stored there which is another reason why it is so famous and is visited so often

Pretty cool wonder :D . I just have one question, does this wonder counts as a cathedral building in the city it is built? Because well... it is a unique cathedral :P .

and not to beg but itd be even better if you made a pack mod with only BNW compatible wonders.

Dude, im blown away by all the wonders you have. Itd be really great if there was a convenient all-in-one pack mod for these wonders.

back to wonders I see.

It'd be interesting if you could have some wonders you start back in the Medieval era and then get to fully finish in the industrial era. Though that's perhaps not quite in the spirit of the wonders.

The tech tree placement was a bit of an issue with this one, given it was under construction for over 600 years

Interesting to have a religious building available later in the game.
