About This Design

The Aachen Cathedral Postcard

The Aachen Cathedral Postcard

Aachen Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Aix-la-Chapelle, is a masterpiece of Carolingian architecture and a symbol of European history. Commissioned by Charlemagne, the King of the Franks and later the first Holy Roman Emperor, in the late 8th century, the cathedral was completed around 800 AD. It became the coronation site for German kings for several centuries, and Charlemagne himself was buried there upon his death in 814. The cathedral's octagonal Palatine Chapel, with its stunning golden mosaic dome and intricate Carolingian architecture, remains one of the most important examples of early mediaeval architecture in Europe. Over the centuries, Aachen Cathedral underwent various modifications and additions, reflecting changes in artistic styles and the evolving political landscape. The cathedral's treasury houses a significant collection of mediaeval artefacts, including the Cross of Lothair, a jewelled processional cross dating back to the 10th century. The shrine of Charlemagne, believed to contain his remains, has been a focal point for pilgrims and visitors. Aachen Cathedral was the first German site to be designated as a World Heritage Site in 1978, recognising its historical and cultural significance. The cathedral continues to attract visitors from around the world, drawn by its architectural grandeur, historical importance, and the legacy of Charlemagne in shaping European civilisation.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for. I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording. Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
