Quirinus-Münster in Neuss is the town’s historic minster church, dedicated to Saint Quirinus and notable for its medieval architecture. It is one of the principal ecclesiastical buildings in Neuss and a prominent local landmark.

Inside, the church is known for its preserved medieval fabric, religious relics and liturgical spaces that reflect centuries of worship. Architectural features combine Romanesque and later Gothic elements and attract visitors interested in medieval church art and local history.

The minster dates to the medieval period and was built and modified over centuries to serve as a center of worship and pilgrimage centered on Saint Quirinus. Its role has remained primarily religious and civic through later restorations and preservation efforts.

The church is located in the centre of Neuss in North Rhine-Westphalia on the west bank of the Rhine, within easy reach of Düsseldorf and the Rhine corridor.
