St. Stephanus, Gothic church in Kornelimünster, Germany.

St. Stephanus features a late Gothic staircase hall, three-nave structure, and a rectangular tower with parallel barrel vaults on the ground floor.

The church, first documented in the 12th century, served as the mother parish of Münsterländchen until its transformation into a cemetery church in 1802.

The interior of St. Stephanus contains multiple altars, including the high altar and Antonius altar, along with frescoes and Stations of the Cross.

The church maintains its position on a ridge above the former Abbey Church of St. Kornelius, accessed by stairs leading to the entrance.

A lightning strike in 1835 destroyed the original gabled roofs, leading to their replacement with a single roof structure that modified the tower design.

Location: Kornelimünster/Walheim

Architectural style: Gothic architecture
