Evangelische Friedenskirche Rheydt, Gothic Revival church in Rheydt, Germany

The Friedenskirche displays red brick construction with multiple architectural elements including Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and classical features throughout its structure.

The church, consecrated on December 5, 1866, received its name following the end of the Austro-Prussian War and was designed by architect Maximilian Nohl.

The building transformed from a religious space to residential units in 1998, creating 18 social housing apartments while preserving the original architectural heritage.

The structure maintains its main entrance through the tower facade, allowing residents and visitors to access the building through its historical portal.

The bells of Friedenskirche were removed three times for military purposes, with the final set transferred to St. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Moscow in 1999.
