St. Vitus Collegiate Church (Collegiate Church of St. Vitus)

Highlight • Religious Site

He is considered the patron saint against paralysis, weakness of the limbs, gout, nervous diseases and all diseases of children.

The town of Saint-Malo on the Brittany coast bears the name of this saint.

In the former abbey church of St. Vitus in Hoch-Elten (Emmerich), a stone representation of Machutus with a handicapped child developed into a place of pilgrimage for the handicapped at the beginning of the 20th century. [4] After research by a Jesuit [5], the sculpture was reshaped by an unknown stonemason from a statue of the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus.

Hochelten, St. Vitus Church and Drususbrunnen

Highlight • Religious Site

The church's origins date back to the 10th century. It was built as a simple wooden structure at the beginning of the 10th century northeast of the then existing castle complex. In 967, the castle was converted into a free-noble women's convent. The Elten women's convent developed into an imperial foundation and thus also became a secular dominion, or rather, an independent small state with a secular bailiff.

The wooden church was replaced by a three-aisled basilica. In 970, it was consecrated to St. Salvator and St. Vitus, but three years later, only the latter was listed as the patron saint. North of the church, convent buildings with a cloister were built. The chronology is based on pottery, which is discussed in detail by Janssen. Some burials northeast of the church date from as early as the 10th/11th centuries.
