Basilica of St. Quirinus
Basilica of St. Quirinus, Minor basilica in Neuss, Germany
The Romanesque church features a grand west tower, three apses, and distinctive architectural elements combining light tuff and black basalt stone materials.
The construction of the current building started on October 9, 1209, following several previous structures and the establishment of a monastery around 850.
The relics of Saint Quirinus, brought from Rome to Neuss in 1050, transformed the church into a significant pilgrimage destination in the Rhine region.
The basilica opens daily for religious services, guided tours, and individual visits, with special exhibitions highlighting its architectural and religious elements.
The church represents the last major ecclesiastical construction in the Rhenish three-conch style, featuring a two-story gallery basilica for pilgrims.
