Basilica of Saints Plechelm Wiro-and-Otger, Minor basilica in Sint Odiliënberg, Netherlands

The Basilica of Saints Plechelm Wiro-and-Otger features architectural elements designed by Pierre Cuypers and stands at the top of a hill in Sint Odiliënberg.

Three Anglo-Saxon missionaries established a monastery on Sint-Petrusberg in the eighth century, leading to the development of the current basilica and surrounding village.

The basilica holds religious ceremonies throughout the year and maintains the traditions of Saints Wiro, Plechelmus, and Otger in the Dutch Catholic community.

Located at Kerkplein 15 with postal code 6077AA, the basilica welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architecture and religious heritage.

Archaeological excavations revealed a tenth-century reliquary tomb within the church, though no original structure remains visible above ground level.
