POTD: Cologne Cathedral's Goat

From 2022 07 07 Cologne and Brühl

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Cologne, Germany. It shows two of the many gargoyles on Cologne Cathedral. The church dates back to the 1200s but it was heavily damaged in WWII (as, sadly, so much of Europe was). During restoration, one of the new gargoyles was made in the shape of a goat. The goat is the mascot of the Cologne football club "1. FC Köln". Maybe God really does take sides in sports.

Bonus photos after the jump.


More traditional looks at the cathedral (exterior and interior).
