Simeonstift of Trier, Medieval collegiate church near Porta Nigra, Trier, Germany
The Simeonstift museum occupies a Romanesque building with a two-story cloister adjacent to the ancient Roman gate Porta Nigra in Trier.
Archbishop Poppo von Babenberg established the collegiate church in 1037 following the canonization of Greek monk Simeon, who lived as a hermit at Porta Nigra.
The museum collection presents 900 objects across 1,000 square meters, including paintings, sculptures, Coptic textiles, and East Asian figurines from medieval times.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM, with admission fees of 6 euros for adults and 4.50 euros for reduced entry.
Emperor Henry IV granted the Simeonstift over sixty properties and privileges in 1098, establishing it as a center of religious and cultural influence.
