A magnificent "church"
Herzfeld is the oldest place of pilgrimage in Westphalia. Since 825 people have made pilgrimages to the tomb of St. Ida.
Pope Benedict XVI raised this church to the papal basilica Minor in 2011 by Bishop Felix of Münster.
It is also called "the white cathedral on the lip".

The pilgrimage church is named after Ida von Herzfeld, who is worshiped as a saint. Her bones rest in the crypt of the church in a splendidly decorated shrine.

St. Ida in Herzfeld is really cooped up between the many houses around it. Nevertheless, the church is very imposing and one of the landmarks. All around there are restaurants and a supermarket.
