After visiting the cathedral we came across the cathedral treasure and I have to say that you should definitely see it. This is really impressive and worth seeing. We (2 adults, 1 child) paid €12 and were thrilled. You should plan around 45-60 minutes for the visit.

(Translated by Google) The treasury is well worth a visit. The collection contains incredible treasures and finely crafted works of art. I am always torn between admiration and horror at the wealth that the Church has accumulated over the centuries. (Original) Die Schatzkammer ist einen Besuch wert. Die Sammlung enthält unglaubliche Schätze und fein gearbeitete Kunstwerke. Ich bin immer hin und her gerissen zwischen Bewunderung und Entsetzen über den Reichtum, den die Kirche im Laufe der Jahrhunderte angehäuft hat.

The relics are impressive and you should definitely see them for yourself. The 6 euro entrance fee is definitely worth it. The inner courtyard in front of the ticket office is also worth seeing. Toilets and lockers are available.

The Aachen Cathedral Treasury should pretty much a visit to Aachen Cathedral with an extra payment for entrance. It’s definitely worth the entrance fee to see all the treasures of the cathedral, especially the golden bust of Charlemange, all the Charlemagne reliquaries and dozens of other saint reliquaries, and the Cross of Lothar. There’s also some fantastic works of art by various goldsmiths, sculptures and the likes. Definitely a must see in Aachen.

You can almost miss the entrance, but if you leave the cathedral, walk away heading slightly right, past the toilet and 'gift' shop. Turn right at the corner. Walk up to the entrance on your right. You need to leave all your bags in a locker (€1 tunable refundable deposit), ppl under 21 are free. Really brilliant set of 'tresures' to view, plenty of info in English, but very interesting viewing regardless.

The Aachen Cathedral Treasury contains the church treasury of Aachen Cathedral, one of the most important collections of ecclesiastical cultural treasures in the world. It is located in the middle of Aachen's historic old town, in close proximity to the cathedral. Access to the museum, located on the cloister, leads through the "Little Dragon Hole", a Gothic portal opposite the cathedral information. In the cathedral treasury, 130 impressive works of art from the 1,200-year history of Aachen Cathedral are presented on three floors. The exhibits show the art eras from the early Middle Ages to modern times and are closely linked to the purpose they originally served: the furnishing of St. Mary's Church, which was founded by Charlemagne. The well-known bust of Charles, the crown of Margaret of York, the Anastasius requiliar and the Prosperina sarcophagus are just some of the outstanding objects. Anyone who has visited Aachen Cathedral should definitely also visit the cathedral treasury. The exhibits on display are definitely worth seeing!

The library has a rich collection of many medieval works of art.

For five euros (standard adult) you'll see nearly a millennia old religious gold works with precious stones. Mainly Ottonian works, that where in Charlemagne crypt. Building is located next to the Cathedral, toilet facilities between the two. Disabled access at ground level, fairly certain there are lifts. Cloakroom available.

Treasures with good descriptions in English. If you want to see a silver Gilt 14th century cup with body parts of a few saints combined, then this one's for you. I love relics. Being a Catholic gave me desire.

(Translated by Google) Here you can really discover great treasures. A very interesting collection of historically very valuable works of art of inestimable value. They were used to furnish the Marienkirche (founded by Charlemagne) and to celebrate its liturgy. Highly recommended and worth seeing. (Original) Hier kann man wirklich tolle Schätze entdecken. Eine sehr interessante Sammlung von historisch sehr wertvollen Kunstwerken von unschätzbaren Wert. Sie dienten der Ausstattung der Marienkirche (gegründet durch Karl den Großen) und der Feier ihrer Liturgie. Sehr empfehlenswert und sehenswert.

(Translated by Google) A visit-visit is worthwhile, the 5, - Euro entrance fee are okay. The exhibits are masterpieces of craftsmanship, a journey through time through history. Stunning the pieces. (Original) Ein Besuch-Besichtigung ist Lohnenswert, die 5,- Euro Eintrittspreis sind okay. Die Exponate sind Meisterstücke der Handwerkskunst, eine Zeitreise durch die Geschichte. Atemberaubend die Stücke.

(Translated by Google) Certainly to visit combined with a visit to the Dom itself. This treasure trove is one of the most important in Europe with important relics of invaluable value. The absolute top attraction is of course the bust of Charlemagne but beautiful are also the medieval relics, a crucifix, a sarcophagus, etc. If you want to know everything in more detail, you can call on a local guide. (Original) Zeker te bezoeken gecombineerd met een bezoek aan de Dom zelf. Deze schatkamer is één van de belangrijkste in Europa met belangrijke relikwieën van onschatbare waarde. De absolute top attractie is uiteraard de buste van Karel De Grote maar prachtig zijn ook de Middeleeuwse relikwieën , een kruisbeeld, een sarcofaag enz. Indien u alles meer in detail wenst te weten kunt u beroep doen op een gids ter plaatse.

I can describe the treasury with one word “Incredible”. The place is a bit hidden, well not really, it is close to the cathedral, but it is not inside the cathedral like google maps says. It is on its surroundings. Look for the shop, in front of the shop there’s a ticket office, there you get your tickets (cash/card), right in front of the ticket office is the entrance to the treasury. If you arrive a bit over the closing hour, go quickly to the inner court or patio because it closes first. Take a quick look and then go to the treasury. The treasury is not that big, there’s the main floor which will take most of the time, it is about 6 rooms or so where you would find the main collection. Top floor has a bit more with some displays still being developed (at the time writing this review there were missing texts even in German), but I’d say is the half of the ground floor. The lower floor, like the basement consists of a big room with just a few things to see. I’d say the whole visit could take you 30 minutes to an hours. Depending on how interested you are, if you got an audio guide, and if you are doing a guided tour. Although not a long visit, I think it’s perfect. It goes right to the point, you see really incredible and unique treasure of the former Collegiate Church and current Cathedral of Aachen. If you go to Aachen this is a must. You truly can’t missed it and the price is also cheap, about €6 so no excuse.

The best cathedral I have ever visited. It’s not a gigantic building but has a historical architecture. And I was impressed by the interior design. Its stained glass was amazing, delicately beautiful. Also its marble columns and mosaic murals were also remarkable.

Great place with amazing golden treasures and relics. Epic items.

I was very impressed by our visit to the treasury. It's best to pay the €3 for the audio guide as it provides much more information. The treasury is split into 3 levels but is acceptable by lift if needed. Bags should be stored in the lockers with a €1 or €2 coin that is refunded. You would need around 1 hour for your visit here.

The staff of the museum hit me screaming and pushed me with violence all the way out because, in their opinion, my mask was not perfectly on my nose. This is crazy and unacceptable. Plus, at the ticket office, they breached European Law as they were not supposed to check personal information on the covid certificate whether one is vaccinated or recovered. they did. A very, very bad and traumatising experience.

(Translated by Google) A must for everyone who comes from Aachen and comes to Aachen very recommendable air-conditioned rooms pleasant price (Original) Ein Muss für jeden der aus Aachen kommt und nach Aachen kommt sehr empfehlenswert klimatisierte Räume angenehmer Preis

Have to visit! The curator said to us that they are planning a remake of queen Margaret's gown with over 70000 thousand pearls to exhibit in Jubilee next year! We are going for sure to visit it again next year

(Translated by Google) Worth seeing cathedral treasure (Original) Sehenswerter Domschatz

The Aachen Cathedral Treasury offers very impressive exhibits and is a must-visit when visiting the city! Museum is well maintained and modern. You get through it pretty quickly, 7 euros per person (December 2023) is fine for an attraction of this level of fame.

Good displays and exhibits displaying some Ancient objects of medieval and Dark ages objects. Interesting maps as well as statues. 6 Euros to enter , can be done in 30 mins .

Definitely worth a visit. Here you will see a beautiful exhibition of special religious objects.

Nice to visit to know about Charlemagne and to see beautiful treasure.

Definitely worth to visit! Tickets could be bought from the information center.

A very impressive (art) historical exhibition. You can clearly see here how Charlemagne placed himself in the tradition of Roman emperors and also the change towards more Christian relics after his time. The sheer quantity of relics is fascinating. You always read about how these were an important reason for attracting pilgrims, but the amount of bones, teeth and scraps of fabric is astonishing. The storage of these relics in the gold-plated, elaborately crafted vessels set with precious stones must have caused open mouths in itself. A truly fascinating piece of history. Various objects are also shown, such as host monstrances, statues of Kart and saints, jewelry and clothing. Everything is a display of the power of the church, which was certainly incredibly impressive in the past, but today always with the knowledge of where the money for all these extravagances came from. Nevertheless, you still have to admire the artistry of the goldsmiths today.

Super interesting

Imagine strolling through the Aachen Cathedral Treasury, where each artifact feels like a whispered tale from centuries past. It's as if the walls themselves share the secrets of time. Picture the craftsmen, their hands imbued with dedication, creating these treasures that now beckon you with a silent invitation. This isn't just a visit; it's a conversation with history, a chance to feel the pulse of those who once held these very items. As you stand there, surrounded by the echoes of the past, you can almost sense the spirit of the place—a living connection to the people and stories that shaped it. It's not just about admiring artifacts; it's about embracing the humanity within them, a touch of the past reaching out to touch you in return. The Aachen Cathedral Treasury is more than a collection; it's a bridge across time, inviting you to step into the lives and dreams of those who came before.

The cathedral treasury is located right next to Aachen Cathedral and doesn't seem to be nearly as well visited as the cathedral. The treasury presents everything (or just parts?) of things that have been donated to the cathedral administration or collected by the cathedral administration over the centuries. Admission is very cheap at seven euros. However, if you come in summer and can't deal well with extreme temperature differences, you should go in wearing a jacket. The temperature there feels cooled down to 17 degrees.

Small exhibition of the cathedral's treasures. There were interesting treasures there.

Pretty great for such a small city, maybe a bit pricey. Also sad that the relics are encased in glass. I think some of them aught to be accessible for worshipers to touch devotional items to (that's the point of relics, after all)

Gemstones, gold and ivory, true treasures from times gone by, can be experienced here with a radiant effect. Treasures that were unattainable for the former citizen, although he essentially contributed to this wealth of the powerful.

The treasures were really beautiful and it was fun to learn about the history of the city. It was absolutely worth looking.

It's just wonderful !

Amazing cathedral, very ornate and full of history

Clean and exceptional maintenance...

A small but exquisite collection of treasures associated with Aachen Cathedral and Charlemagne. Just having the opportunity alone to see the dazzling reliquary bust of Charlemagne makes a visit here worthwhile.

Nice cultural visit. Less than 1h to do

a museum with 6 euro entrance for adults where you can see the treasury of aachen.

Very nice, but small museum.

Beautiful selection of treasures. Friendly staff. Great information from the audio guide.

The church treasures of Aachen are really recommended. It gives a nice overview of Emperor Charles, imperial coronations and the influences of the church.

This treasory is located near the cathedral. It is not free, but it's worth a visit.(6 euros for adults and free for students). You can see the relics of Charlemagne and other precious things. It's not big, and it may takes within 30 minutes for looking around, and you can borrow audio guide also.

Very impressive treasury with a rich collection of items. Even interesting when you're not into bone collecting or any related superstitions. Definitely recommend taking an audio guide through.

Have to say the church was rich. Worth to pay a visit.

Tolle Ausstellung. Mit dem, zugegeben nicht preiswerten, Audioguide super viele interessante Informationen erhalten.

(Translated by Google) Not to be missed, the works are beautiful, including the reliquary of the skull of Charlemagne. The explanations in English or French are missing, there are only room signs that are translated not those under each room. I recommend taking the audioguide that really explains most of the works. The audioguide does not include the temporary exhibition that has panels in German, too bad. (Original) A ne surtout pas manquer, les œuvres sont magnifiques, notamment le reliquaire du crâne de Charlemagne.

(Translated by Google) Pretty disappointing. There are some well-executed pieces of goldsmith's work (reliquary of Charlemagne's head) but all the paintings are awful. The cartels of the works are in 4 languages ​​including French which could look good but it seems that it is Google Translation who has been responsible for translating French. Dispensable. (Original) Assez décevant. Il y a quelques pièces d'orfèvrerie bien exécutées (reliquaire de la tête de Charlemagne) mais toutes les peintures sont affreuses.
