The oldest basilica in dusseldorf. Iconic and historical. Very serene and full of history. St Lambertus 635

This attractive Gothic church with its tall, twisted spire towers over the Old Town and is one of its highlights. The crooked spire dates back to a lightning strike in 1815 where the church was repaired while still ablaze.

Loved this church and my visit here. There were only a few other visitors and a couple of locals, and the streets of the old town around it were also peaceful, since people were crowded in restaurants a bit further. The church has a mystical light and a lot of art works: sculptures, paintings and frescoes from different centuries, some original and very old! Definitely worth visiting!

St. Lambertus is sacred to the people of Düsseldorf for several reasons: Firstly, the Catholic church is a landmark of the historical Altstadt (Old town), on the other hand, its church festival forms the spiritual background to the worldly pleasure, the “Biggest funfair on the Rhine” which is still popular today. Description The three-aisled hall church, built in the style of the Lower Rhine brick Gothic, was founded in 1288, the year of the city founding. Its present appearance is the result of a fire in 1815 that destroyed the spire. The renovation was probably done using fresh, damp wood, which resulted in the roof becoming twisted. Legend has it that the devil twisted the church tower as he tried to uproot the church. The new west portal from the 1950s is the work of the sculptor Ewald Mataré.

Since it’s the oldest standing building on Düsseldorf, I had to make a trip to visit to t . Unfortunately, it was barred closed at time of visit. Impressive architecture from the outside, at least.
