The Cathedral in Cologne, Germany is the biggest church I have ever been inside. When you first walk in you can see down a giant open hallway lined with pews and people talking. The inside was pretty dark, lit by torches and small light fixtures. The ceiling felt like it reached the sky, while the hallways seemed to go on for miles. I was able to go up into one of the towers and I remember when we were close to the top we came to an open round area. It seemed like a rest spot for the stairs, but it was big enough that you could have thought it was a common area. An area to trade goods in or converse with one another. Near the top were open windows that allowed birds in, and natural lighting. I didn’t go all the way up, but this room felt like you were still on the ground while being inside.
