St. Ida, Catholic pilgrimage church in Lippetal, Germany.

The stone church contains a crypt housing the remains of Saint Ida of Herzfeld within an ornate shrine beneath the main altar.

Built during the early 9th century by Saint Ida and her husband Egbert, the church received the designation of minor basilica from Pope Benedict XVI in 2011.

Every September, the church hosts Ida Week, featuring a procession through Lippetal where Saint Ida's relics travel through the streets.

The church offers guided tours of the crypt, shrine, and architectural features, with detailed information available in multiple languages at the entrance.

The church stands as the first pilgrimage site established in Westphalia, marking its position as a central point for religious devotion in the region.
