Heilige Dreikönige, Parish church in Neuss, Germany
Heilige Dreikönige is a parish church in Neuss with three naves arranged in a basilica layout. The building displays Renaissance characteristics in its transept facades and curved gables.
Construction began in 1909 and finished in 1911 when Neuss's population grew beyond what the existing Quirinus Minster could accommodate. After severe wartime damage, the vaults in the choir and main nave were rebuilt in subsequent decades.
The name refers to the Three Magi, representing the non-Jewish world in Christian faith. Visitors can see this theme reflected in the interior decoration and artistic elements throughout the space.
The church is located on Jülicher Strasse and welcomes visitors daily. Planning ahead helps if you want to attend services or experience special occasions.
The church windows were created by Jan Thorn Prikker between 1911 and 1929, showing a shift from Art Nouveau to abstract geometric patterns. This transition from decorative to modern glass art is visible as you move through the building.
