Quirinus-Münster

The Quirinus-Münster is the symbol of the city of Neuss and was awarded the honorary title "Basilica Minor" on the occasion of its 800th anniversary by Pope Benedict XVI. Next to the church is the market square where there are several cafes and restaurants, ideal for a short break.

The St. Quirinus Minster in Neuss is quite a remarkable building.
The Quirinus-Münster is a church in the Rhenish transitional style on the Lower Rhine and a landmark of the city of Neuss. It was built between 1209 and 1230 and in 2009 by Pope Benedict XVI. raised to the status of a minor basilica.

Quirinus Minster (Basilica minor)
The imposing landmark of the city of Neuss is one of the most important late Romanesque churches on the Lower Rhine. The gallery basilica was built between 1209 and 1230.

A must for all Neuss visitors; There are some good restaurants on the market (Extrablatt, Kiity Chai, Schwanen, Burger Welt, ice cream parlor etc.), where you can sit outside very nicely.

Beautiful church and my bicycle parking lot, when I visit the Neuss pedestrian area.

In 2009, Pope Benedict XVI raised the Quirinus Minster to the status of "Basilica minor". In the Middle Ages, Neuss was an important stop on the way to Santiago. Much of the cathedral was destroyed by fire and bombs, but evidence such as the altar and an inscription on the Quirinus shrine attest to its significant history.

Interesting old church
