Clemenskirche, Baroque church building in Münster-Mitte, Germany.
Clemenskirche is a Baroque church building in Münster-Mitte featuring a central rotunda design topped by a cupola and lantern. Its construction combines light sandstone with red brick in a pattern typical of the period.
The church was built between 1745 and 1753 under architect Johann Conrad Schlaun as part of a monastery and hospital complex for the Hospitaller Brothers. It was reconstructed after 1944 war damage, though the original hospital buildings were not restored.
The interior displays frescoes and stucco work by Jakob Rauch and Johann Adam Schöpf that showcase German Baroque artistry. These pieces reflect the skilled decorative traditions of 18th-century craftsmanship.
The building sits between Salzstraße and Clemensstraße in the Old Town and can be accessed during opening hours. It is easy to locate and well-connected by public transport.
The original complex was large with hospital buildings that housed patients and monks alongside the church. What remains today is the church structure alone, though historical documents and old maps preserve the memory of the full ensemble.
