Fridolinsmünster, Bad Säckingen

The Fridolinsmünster is the landmark of the town of Bad Säckingen and is dedicated to St. Fridolin of Säckingen, who as a missionary of presumably Irish origin founded various monasteries in the Alemannic region in the 6th century. The Fridolinsmünster was the collegiate church of the Damenstift Säckingen and is today the main church of the Catholic community of Bad Säckingen.

The monastery church was built in Romanesque style, rebuilt in Gothic style in the 14th century after a fire, and renewed in the 17th and 18th centuries with elements of Baroque style.

Today, the bones of St. Fridolin are kept in the Fridolin Chapel, which is open to the public, on the right side of the choir room in a richly decorated silver shrine. The procession through the town held on the Sunday after March 6 to commemorate the death of St. Fridolin enjoys nationwide fame. Due to its legendary history, the church is part of the "Mythical Places on the Upper Rhine".
