Domstift Münster, Religious community from 792 in Münster, Germany

The Domstift Münster complex includes buildings for monastic living, education centers, and administrative offices surrounding St. Paulus Cathedral in central Münster.

Founded in 792 by Bishop Liudger, the Domstift Münster established itself as a spiritual center with a cathedral school that educated religious scholars throughout medieval times.

The Domstift maintains extensive archives and manuscripts dating back centuries, documenting religious, social, and educational developments in the Westphalia region.

Visitors can explore the cathedral grounds daily, while guided tours of the historical monastic buildings require advance reservations through the Domstift administration office.

The monastery collection contains rare Byzantine stained glass windows, which according to regional accounts, attracted pilgrims seeking healing throughout the Middle Ages.
