    The former collegiate church of St. Chrysanthus and Daria is the Roman Catholic main church of Bad Münstereifel. The well-preserved Romanesque basilica is an important architectural monument that differs from the traditional scheme in a characteristic way.

      The basilica is a must on the Way of St. James in Germany, the "Via Coloniensis". It is the gateway to Cologne and at the same time the gateway to the Eifel.

        The Benedictine monastery owes its origins and name to the Münstereifel and was founded in 830 from Prüm. In 844 it received the relics of the Roman martyr couple Chrysanthus and Daria, which made it considerably more important. The present basilica was built in the 11th century. After the abolition of the monastery in 1803, it began to deteriorate. In 1872 the northwest flank tower collapsed. Reconstruction and restoration were completed in 1890. After the Second World War, which the collegiate church survived with minor damage, further interior and exterior renovations and the adaptation of the furnishings to the post-conciliar liturgy followed.
