The St. Ludgerus Church in Essen-Werden is one of the most important late Romanesque church buildings in the Rhineland. It was built at the beginning of the 9th century as the abbey church of the Werden Benedictine monastery and was redesigned in the 13th century in the Rhenish transition style. Outside the actual church building is the crypt with the shrine of St. Ludgerus. Since the abbey was abolished, St. Ludgerus has been a Catholic parish church. It has had the title of a minor basilica since 1993.
