Discover Westphalian art and culture

The RELíGIO - Westphalian Museum of Religious Culture provides insights into the themes of pilgrimage, Cardinal von Galen and the transformation of Christmas customs. The name is intended to reflect the connection between the region and religion, as the exhibits have a strong connection to Westphalia. The museum has seven active collection areas: from world religions to everyday culture and modern art. An impressive eye-catcher is the large Telgte Famine Shroud from 1623, which contains 33 pictorial panels made in fillet stitch. These depictions describe the suffering and resurrection of Jesus Christ as well as models of the Passion from the Old Testament.
