Basilica of SS. Peter and Alexander, Minor basilica in Aschaffenburg, Germany

The Basilica of SS. Peter and Alexander features Romanesque architecture with a main nave, transept, and a tower added in the 15th century.

The establishment of the church dates to 974, when Emperor Otto II documented the gift of several churches and territories to the institution.

The Renaissance painting 'Beweinung Christi' by Matthias Grünewald represents a central artistic element within the church's collection of religious artworks.

The basilica, located at Stiftsgasse 3, remains open for religious services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural and historical elements.

Anthropologists confirmed in the 1950s that the church contains the preserved remains of Otto I and his family members.
