St. Adolfus, Romanesque Revival church in Pempelfort, Germany

The St. Adolfus church features twin towers with Moorish architectural elements and stands as a basilica at Kaiserswerther Straße 60 in Düsseldorf.

Built in 1898 by architect Caspar Clemens Pickel, the church endured severe bombing damage in 1944 and underwent reconstruction from 1947 to 1951.

The church interior displays a 1955 Christ mosaic above the main altar and 1956 stained glass windows created by artist Richard Seewald.

The church houses a 1952 Romanus Seifert & Son organ with 46 registers across three manuals and maintains regular Catholic worship services.

The church bells, cast in 1913 by Otto foundry, form the largest pre-World War I bronze carillon still existing in the Archdiocese of Cologne.
