about

Saint Castulus (died 286) is venerated as a martyr.
According to tradition, he was the chamberlain
(or officer, valet) of Emperor Diocletian and the
husband of Irene of Rome, also venerated as a saint.
Castulus was tortured and executed by being buried
alive in a sand pit on the Via Labicana (in Rome).
According to tradition, Irene subsequently buried
the body of the martyred Sebastian.
She was later martyred herself, around 288 AD.
A church dedicated to him at Rome, built on the site
of his martyrdom, existed from at least the seventh century.
Castulus was venerated in Bavaria after relics of his
were taken to Moosburg.
Duke Heinrich der Lˆwe started the construction of the
Kastulus Minster (cathedral) in 1171.
In 1604, relics were also brought to Landshut.
His relics still rest in Landshut's church of St. Martin's.
