Basilica of the Transfiguration of Our Lord, Prüm, Minor basilica in Prüm, Germany

The Basilica of the Transfiguration of Our Lord is a three-aisled Baroque church built from Buntsandstein between 1721 and 1730, about 64 metres long and 28 metres wide. Its west front has two 62-metre towers flanking a jagged gable with statues of Saint Benedict, the Saviour and Saint Scholastica, and a shell niche holding a Madonna. The interior has cross-ribbed vaults in a late Gothic style.

The basilica was built in the 18th century as part of the former Benedictine abbey of Prüm, with contributions from architect Johann Balthasar Neumann. This development was connected to the broader tradition of Baroque religious architecture in the region.

The basilica continues to serve the local Catholic community as a parish church and remains central to religious life in Prüm. It draws visitors who come to experience its role as a place of prayer and spiritual gathering.

The basilica is located in the town center of Prüm and is easily accessible on foot from the main streets. Visitors should note that regular religious services take place, so entry times may be limited during these events.

The north tower of the west front is a remnant of the previous church, built in the first half of the 16th century; the rest of the basilica was rebuilt from 1721 under Johann Georg Judas. Excavations in autumn 2017 in front of the abbey found foundations of the earlier "Golden Church", including a westwork.
