The Gaukirche is essentially a Romanesque church building, with important elements from the Baroque period. From the market side, you enter the church through a Baroque gate by the prince-bishop's master builder Franz Christoph Nagel, which is praised as "one of the best Baroque facades in Westphalia". The octagonal tower stands above the middle of the three naves of the pillar basilica. On the south side of the church, part of the Gaukirch monastery is still located today.
