Provost Church St. Peter und Paul

The Provost Church St. Peter und Paul combines Gothic and Romanesque architectural elements with a transept added between 1872 and 1874.

Founded in 785, the church underwent reconstruction between 1517 and 1547 after a fire, incorporating sections of the previous choir into the new structure.

The church functions as a central institution within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Essen, hosting religious ceremonies and community gatherings throughout the year.

Located at coordinates 51.4822 latitude and 7.22056 longitude, the church maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors to explore its architecture.

Following destruction in World War II air raids of 1944, the church required extensive reconstruction of its roof, vaults, and interior until 1959.
