Stiftskirche Cappel, Romanesque monastery in Lippstadt, Germany.

The Stiftskirche Cappel features two prominent towers and exhibits a cross-shaped floor plan with three naves supported by pillars.

The monastery, established around 1140, transformed from a Catholic Premonstratensian convent into a Protestant secular institution after 1571.

The interior holds medieval frescoes from 1250, a two-tiered baptismal font, and altarpieces dating from the 15th and 16th centuries.

The church opens from Easter to September as a bicycle church along the Roman Route, with guided tours available upon request.

Three bronze bells in the north tower include a special 1802 casting that commemorates the abbess of Lippe.
