Moslem Creates Exact Wooden Replica of Cologne Cathedral

A Syrian named Fadel Alhudr has made a two-metre-high wooden replica of Cologne Cathedral. It took him more than 2.5 years - or around 5,000 hours, as he says.

The Aleppo-born craftsman worked with hard beech wood and old Syrian tools in a small cellar in Cologne's Kalk district.

Alhudr is a Muslim. During his work, he said he felt a strong connection with the Catholic cathedral. The model of the cathedral can now be seen in the Domforum on the Domplatte.
