Comment
The Cathedral of Aix-la-Chapelle (Aachener Dom, Kaiserpfalz, Hoher Dom zu Aachen, Aachener Münster or Aachener Marienkirche) is claimed as one of the oldest cathedrals in Europe and was constructed by order of the emperor Charlemagne, who was buried there after his death in 814. For 595 years, from 936 to 1531, the Palatine Chapel, heart of the cathedral, was the church of coronation for thirty-one German kings and twelve queens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aachen_CathedralInteresting fact
The 10 Won (Aachen Cathedral) 2009 gold coin from North Korea has a unique feature - it has a square shape, unlike most coins which are round.
