Stiftskirche St. Mauritius und St. Viktor

The red brick church features a crossing tower, three-nave hall, and Romanesque design elements including round-arched windows and pilaster strips on eastern sections.

Bishop Adeldag consecrated the original church to Saint Victor in 980, with Saint Maurice added as second patron saint in the 13th century.

Multiple abbess epitaphs decorate the church walls, including the notable tomb of Anna Countess of Hoya, the second Protestant abbess who died in 1585.

The church holds Sunday services at 11:00 AM and maintains a Chapel of Silence open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM for prayer.

The choir room and apse windows were recreated based on designs by Westphalian artist Jochem Poensgen after the turn of the millennium.
