Stiftskirche Cappenberg, Romanesque church in Selm, Germany
The three-aisled basilica with a transept displays distinct Romanesque architecture with Gothic modifications from the 14th and 15th centuries.
Founded in the 12th century by Otto and Gottfried von Cappenberg, the church served as the first Premonstratensian monastery in Westphalia until 1802.
The church maintains regular Catholic services while functioning as an architectural heritage monument, representing centuries of religious tradition in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The church opens its doors to visitors throughout the year, with guided tours available to explore its medieval architecture and historical artifacts.
The church houses the Cappenberger Barbarossakopf, a bronze reliquary bust of Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa, crafted in Aachen after 1155.
