Stiftskirche, Kyllburg, Gothic parish church in Kyllburg, Germany.

The church stands at the highest point of a ridge encircled by the Kyll River, featuring large pointed arch windows in its eastern section.

Archbishop Heinrich II of Finstingen ordered the construction of this church in 1276, establishing a collegiate chapter that grew from four to twelve canons.

The interior displays Renaissance stained glass windows from 1533, depicting biblical narratives and portraits of the church founders Jacob and Bernard.

The church remains open to visitors twenty-four hours a day throughout the year, with regular religious services held in the main nave.

The red sandstone cloister contains construction marks from medieval lifting tools, visible in the holes of the stone blocks.
