Since February 11, 2020, the parish and pilgrimage church of the Holy Cross in Bergen has been able to call itself "Münsterkirche" again. Gregor Maria Hanke, Bishop of Eichstätt, has given permission. Due to the corona, this was only confirmed in a solemn pontifical office on October 10, 2021 with Bishop Gregor. Along with Ingolstadt, Neumarkt and Wolframs-Eschenbach, it is the fourth minster in the Eichstätt diocese. The church originally owned the title in 1156 but has since lost it. Even if the building appears quite simple from the outside: like the other three mines, this one with its magnificent interior is absolutely worth seeing!

The Catholic parish and pilgrimage church Heilig Kreuz in Bergen, a district of Neuburg an der Donau in the Upper Bavarian district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen, was built in the 11th century as the monastery church of the Benedictine monastery in Bergen. The patron saint refers to a relic of the cross venerated in the church, to which a pilgrimage took place as early as the Middle Ages. In the middle of the 18th century the church was rebuilt in the rococo style and refurbished. The church, in which important parts of the Romanesque church building are still preserved, is one of the protected architectural monuments in Bavaria

On the way to the entrance there is a small garden where coffee, cake and drinks are much cheaper than in the monastery restaurant. The Chaplaincy.
