description: "In Kornelimünster, St. Kornelius stands as a church that has shaped the spiritual life of the town for centuries. Today, the brick building is a spacious hall church whose vaults and westwork tell a long architectural history. Particularly impressive is the octagonal chapel on the east side, which has been attracting pilgrims since 1706 and becomes a pilgrimage chapel in its own right during the Korneliusoktav. Among the most significant treasures are three cloths traditionally associated with Christ, which continue to lend the place a special significance to this day. Many visitors find the atmosphere to be quiet and yet rich in history, as monastic tradition, pilgrimage and architectural details merge here to create a multi-layered experience."

St. Kornelius: a monastery town with precious traces of centuries past

 In Kornelimünster, St. Kornelius stands as a church that has shaped the spiritual life of the town for centuries. Today, the brick building is a spacious hall church whose vaults and westwork tell a long architectural history. Particularly impressive is the octagonal chapel on the east side, which has been attracting pilgrims since 1706 and becomes a pilgrimage chapel in its own right during the Korneliusoktav. Among the most significant treasures are three cloths traditionally associated with Christ, which continue to lend the place a special significance to this day. Many visitors find the atmosphere to be quiet and yet rich in history, as monastic tradition, pilgrimage and architectural details merge here to create a multi-layered experience.
