St. Bernward's Church, Hildesheim, Neo-Romanesque Catholic church in Hildesheim, Germany.

The three-nave basilica features a northern apse, altar and a southern tower that mirrors the architectural elements of Hildesheim Cathedral.

The church building, constructed between 1905 and 1907 by architect Richard Herzig, suffered extensive damage during World War II bombings in 1945.

The church houses a Gothic retable from 1430 that depicts various saints and the Coronation of the Virgin, transferred from Trinitatishospital.

The reconstruction of St. Bernward's Church began in November 1948, leading to its rededication by Bishop Joseph Godehard Machens in 1949.

The architect Richard Herzig designed 43 churches in neo-Romanesque style within the Diocese of Hildesheim from 1895 to 1913.
