St. Cecilia's Church, Romanesque church museum in Altstadt-Süd, Germany.
The three-aisled church features rounded apses, medieval frescoes in the upper choir, and an original arched wooden roof from the 12th century.
Founded between 870 and 888 during Archbishop Willibert's reign, the church was constructed on the ruins of a Roman bath complex.
The Schnütgen Museum, housed within the church since 1956, presents an extensive collection of medieval religious art and artifacts.
Located near multiple public transport stops, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The church maintains its religious function by holding two annual masses: during Christmas and on Saint Cecilia's feast day.
