St. Chrysanthus und Daria

The three-nave basilica features a western facade with double towers and a central spire above the crossing of the transept.

Founded in 830 by monks from Prüm Abbey, the monastery received the relics of Saints Chrysanthus and Daria in 844, establishing it as a pilgrimage site.

The church maintains its function as both a parish church and monastery, serving the religious community of North Rhine-Westphalia through regular services.

The interior structure includes a five-nave crypt beneath the choir area, accessible to visitors during designated opening hours.

The western wing contains a large vaulted vestibule that reflects architectural influences from Saint Pantaleon Church in Cologne.
