The Sankt Kolumba chapel with the famous Marian figure "Madonna in the Ruins" is built over with the Diocesan Museum (whose famous star architect Peter Zumthor unfortunately built a facade that now has to be renovated for the second time in 15 years due to moisture damage).

St. Kolumba was one of the largest parish churches in Cologne. Its origins date back to the year 980. The church was almost completely destroyed in the Second World War. From 1947 onwards, the Lady Chapel “Madonna in the Rubble” was built in the ruins. Since 2007, the St. Kolumba Chapel has been integrated into the new building (2007) of the Archbishop's Diocesan Museum as a place of worship.

Gottfried Böhm's chapel on the ruins of the former St. Kolumba Church. Right next to Peter Zumthor's Diocesan Museum.
