St. Aloisius

St. Aloisius is a parish church in Herdorf, Germany, built in Gothic Revival style with a distinctive western tower and three-nave interior layout. The building was designed by architect Reinhold Wirtz and accommodates around 350 people in its seating area.

Construction of the current building began in 1884 and was completed with consecration in 1885, marking an important moment in the parish's history. The project responded to the growing needs of the religious community in Herdorf at that time.

The parish organizes regular liturgical celebrations with readings from the Gospel of Luke and maintains strong connections with neighboring religious communities.

The church is generally accessible during daytime hours for visitors to explore the interior freely. Regular services provide opportunities to experience the space in its active use as a place of worship.

The organ inside is a particularly notable feature that stands out for its impressive size and craftsmanship among regional instruments. Many visitors overlook this musical instrument despite its considerable presence in the space.
