    The Aureliuskirche is a Catholic church in the Hirsau district of Calw. The first monastery church was consecrated here in 830. After the decay there was a Romanesque new building in 1071. After the new Hirsau monastery was built, the monks moved and the church was used for all possible secular purposes over time. In 1954/1955 the building was renovated in order to be used again for sacred purposes.

    The Romanesque Aurelius Church, built between 1059 and 1071, formed the center of the monastery. The church was partially demolished in the 16th century; today, only the nave and the stumps of the two western towers remain.

    The church was used as a Catholic place of worship again in 1954, following extensive renovations.

    On the south side of the Aurelius Church, there was once a cloister, of which a 33-meter-long section of wall has survived to this day.
