St. Kornelius is not only the provost church of Kornelimünster but also a pilgrimage church.

The foundation of the church dates back to the 9th century. The former Benedictine church took on its current form through further additions and alterations over the centuries. The main attraction for many pilgrims and tourists are the "Salvator relics", which were once taken from today's Aachen Cathedral by Louis the Pious, son of Charlemagne, and transferred to Kornelimünster. The Lord's apron, the burial shroud and the sweat cloth of Jesus make the church a popular place of pilgrimage. Every Cornelius Octave, the Cornelius Chapel, built in 1706, becomes a pilgrimage chapel. Due to its great importance, the church was elevated to the status of a provost church around 1930.
