Auf der Heimreise von Compiègne, wohin er als Friedensstifter gerufen war, starb Bruno, entkräftet von seinen vielfältigen Aktivitäten. Auf seinen Wunsch hin wurde er in dem von ihm gegründeten Kloster St. Pantaleon in Kölnbestattet.
Mönch Ruotger vom Benediktinerkloster St. Pantaleon verfasste 989 Brunos Lebensgeschichte; sie versucht nachzuweisen, dass auch ein Bischof mit großer weltlicher Macht ein frommes Leben wie ein Mönch führen kann.

In 957, Archbishop Bruno of Cologne, brother of Emperor Otto the Great, founded a Benedictine abbey next to the Church of St. Pantaleon. The archbishop was buried in the existing church in 965.
A year later, in 966, construction began on a replacement church to go with the new abbey. This church had a single nave with flat roof, small east apse, Carolingian-style Westwerk, and square transepts. …More
In 957, Archbishop Bruno of Cologne, brother of Emperor Otto the Great, founded a Benedictine abbey next to the Church of St. Pantaleon. The archbishop was buried in the existing church in 965.
A year later, in 966, construction began on a replacement church to go with the new abbey. This church had a single nave with flat roof, small east apse, Carolingian-style Westwerk, and square transepts. It was consecrated by Archbishop Warin of Cologne on October 24, 980.
Empress Theophanu (wife of Otto II) expanded the new church by adding a much larger Westwerk at the west end and an apse with crypt at the east end. The west front was decorated with sculptures of the enthroned Christ, Saints Albanus and Pantaleon, and angels, which have not survived. The renovations were complete in 996, five years after the death of the Empress, who was buried in the church (her tomb remains there today).
St. Pantaleon's Church was further renovated around 1150-60, with the addition of the side aisles and decorative flooring. In 1620-22 the east apse and nave vault were renovated. In 1890-92 the Westwerk was reconstructed.
Napoleon and his troops dissolved the Benedictine Abbey of St. Pantaleon in 1803. The church was damaged during World War II and repair took several decades - the nave had no ceiling until 1962.
