I am delighted to share this miniature cathedral, a devotional piece that captures the majestic spirit of Cologne Cathedral in Germany, mounted on a premium Jarrah base as part of my new Sacred Spires Collection. With its white resin form accented by golden crosses atop the spires, it stands as a reminder of the Church's enduring grandeur, engraved on the front with the sacred words "Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus" from the heavenly liturgy in Isaiah and Revelation. Though not an exact replica, it echoes the cathedral's iconic silhouette and Gothic essence, inviting contemplation on the beauty of our faith's architectural heritage.
The resin cathedral is painted pristine white and sealed in varnish for lasting protection, while the Jarrah base gleams under varnish with a beeswax-sealed underside bearing my maker's mark. It is a fitting addition to a prayer corner or shelf, drawing the heart toward the holiness of God's house.
The overall piece measures 16.4 cm long, 9.4 cm wide, and 2 cm thick, ideal for intimate spaces, with the cathedral permanently affixed to its Jarrah base for stability. The cathedral itself stands 11.1 cm tall, 8.0 cm deep, and 5.6 cm wide, evoking the soaring presence of the original in miniature form.
Cologne Cathedral, known as Kölner Dom, stands as a sublime testament to Gothic splendour and the heart of Catholic devotion in Germany, consecrated to Saints Peter and Mary. Its construction commenced in 1248, following the destruction by fire of an ancient church that had nurtured Christian prayer since the fourth century, yet the work halted for ages before reaching completion in 1880, a labour spanning 632 years. Through the skilled hands of countless masons, sculptors, and faithful workers, each stone was placed with unwavering dedication to the glory of God, embodying a profound sacrifice that wove prayer into every arch and spire. Rising to 157 metres, it remains the world's tallest twin-spired church and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996, a beacon of Europe's Christian legacy amid an era where such reverent, enduring beauty crafted over lifetimes is all too rare, overshadowed by modern haste. As Germany's most beloved landmark, it safeguards treasures like the Shrine of the Three Kings, calling pilgrims to meditate on Christ's eternal reign and the Church's steadfast proclamation.
Available for delivery within Australia and internationally, with full tracking provided.
Handcrafted from natural Jarrah hardwood, which can vary significantly from light to dark tones, each base may exhibit unique variations in grain, colour, and finish, adding to its distinctive character and affirming the premium quality of Holy Hearth's work.
