Peter Zumthor designed the Kolumba museum for the Archdiocese in Köln Germany, completed in 2007.

The Society for Christian Art founded Kolumba in 1853. It displays art spanning 2000 years of European history. The new building builds right on top of the old Gothic and Roman walls of the ruined St. Kolumba church. When the church was bombed in World War Two, a figure of Mary on a choir pier was preserved, which was considered a miracle. The church built an octagonal plan of the “Madonna of the Ruins” chapel.

A structural grid of columns is lifted 40 feet by steel and concrete pilasters. Dabbled windows punch through the new masonry like a cathedral's screened window, with some scattered windows otherwise bringing light into this dark meditative space.
