About 10 km south of Aachen's city center lies the traditional town of Kornelimünster. Here are the cloths known as the apron of the Last Supper, the Shroud, and the Sweat Cloth of Jesus.

Welcome to St. Kornelius in Kornelimünster

We are delighted that you are visiting our homepage.

Kornelimünster is a place steeped in history with a long tradition as a place of pilgrimage. The relics of St. Cornelius and St. Cyprian are venerated during the annual Cornelio Octave. Every seven years the pilgrimage to the three shrines kept here (apron, shroud and veil of Jesus) takes place.

The provost parish strives to maintain this important historical heritage, but also to foster community in faith with the Benedictine Abbey of Kornelimünster, the neighboring parishes in the GdG Kornelimünster/Roetgen and our brothers and sisters in the Evangelical Parish of Kornelimünster/Zweifall.

Originally built as a monastery church, St. Cornelius increasingly became a pilgrimage church due to the relics kept and venerated there. This dual function and the associated renovations and extensions explain some of the structural peculiarities, such as the asymmetrical floor plan and the different heights of the side aisles in the north and south.

The shape of the destroyed predecessor buildings is known from two archaeological excavations in the years 1886–1889 and 1960–1967. The reason for the excavation in the 19th century was the search for the grave of the founder and first abbot of Kornelimünster, Benedict of Aniane. It took place under the direction of the pastor of the Aachen prison. The excavation in the 1960s was led by the later Aachen cathedral master builder Leo Hugot, who was construction manager at the Aachen cathedral workshop at the time (Wikipedia).
