The Catholic parish church of Sankt Zeno (also: St. Zeno Church, formerly: Munster St. Zeno) is the largest church in the town of Bad Reichenhall in Bavaria. Today the church is the largest Romanesque basilica in old Bavaria.
The parish church is under monument protection and is entered together with the monastery, the cloister and the monastery garden under the number D-1-72-114-136 in the Bavarian list of monuments. The church and monastery gave the St. Zeno community its name, which was incorporated into the town of Bad Reichenhall in 1910. The church stands on today's Salzburger Straße and is surrounded by the St. Zeno cemetery. The monastery of St. Zeno connects directly to the parish church.Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirche_St._Zeno_(Bad_Reichenhall)

Founded in 1136 by Archbishop Konrad von Abenberg of Salzburg, the construction of the three-nave Romanesque basilica took around 100 years.
It contains many art treasures.
Today's church, Gothic church, dates from after the monastery fire in 1512.
