The Liebfrauen-Überwasserkirche, Munster is a Gothic hall church in the western inner city of Munster in Westphalia. Its name derives from "above the water" because it is west of St. Paul's Cathedral on the opposite side of the Aa.
The current church was built in 1340, as evidenced by an inscription above the west portal. The tower was built from 1363 to probably the beginning of the 15th century.
On July 20, 1941, the then Bishop of Münster, Clemens August Graf von Galen, held one of his famous sermons against National Socialism in the Überwasserkirche.
Like the entire city of Münster, the Überwasserkirche was also badly hit during the air raids on Münster in World War II, but reconstruction was still possible. In 1968 the interior of the church was restored.
