Benediktinerabtei St. Eucharius-St. Matthias

Church in Trier, Germany

St. Matthias' Abbey is a Benedictine monastery in Trier, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, that belongs to the Congregation of the Annunciation. The abbey church, a Romanesque basilica, is a renowned pilgrimage site because of the tomb of Saint Matthias the Apostle, after whom the abbey is named, located here since the 12th century, and the only burial of an apostle in Germany and north of the Alps. The abbey was originally named after Saint Eucharius, first Bishop of Trier, whose tomb is in the crypt. The church has been given the status of a minor basilica.
