The oldest part of the Neumünster Church, Kürschnerhof, is a triple-aisle Romanesque basilica built in the 11th century over the place where the Irish missionary St Kilian was murdered in AD 689. However, later Baroque additions now dominate, with the impressive western façade attributed to Johann Dientzenhofer. The structural components survived the bombing of 1945, but much of the interior was destroyed.
Some noteworthy works of art survived, including a Madonna and Christ by Tilman Riemenschneider (at right). Behind the church, in the Lusamgärtlein, is the grave of medieval troubadour Walther von der Vogelweide (1170-1230) who died in Würzburg.
