Clemenskirche (St. Clemens Church), Munster

The Clemenskirche (St. Clemens Church) is a small chapel, located in Münster's old town. It was built during 1745-1753 by a Baroque architect named Johann Conrad Schlaun. The church used to be a part of the Fatebenefratelli hospital. The Clemenskirche is one of the main and, arguably, the most beautiful samples of Westphalian Baroque. Its interior, along with Baroque details, demonstrates Rococo elements; the ceiling is decorated with frescoes, the walls are covered with refined moldings. All these works have been performed by famous artists, such as Johann Adam Schöpf and Jacob Rauch.

Today, St. Clemens Church is used not only for worship but also for organ and chamber music concerts.
