The Quirinus-Münster in Neuss is a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saint Quirinus of Neuss, whose relics Pope Leo IX gave to Abbess Gepa in 1050. It was built between 1209 and 1230, and a cornerstone records that construction began on October 9, 1209.
The style is Romanesque with strong Lombard influence and the first signs of Gothic. The bell tower has the first semicircular arches, a form later associated with the Gothic style. The plan is a clover-leaf, known as the Dreikonchenstil, which is common in the Rhine area. Bench seats at right angles and rounded outer curves were made for pilgrims. A ciborium above the main altar is like those in Rome, such as St. Paul Outside the Walls.
Ernst Seifert installed a large organ in 1907. Many precious objects were lost in World War II. In 2009 Pope Benedict XVI gave the church the title of minor basilica.
