Distelrather Kapelle, Gothic Revival filial church in Düren, Germany.

The Distelrather Kapelle features a bell tower constructed before the 11th century and a nave rebuilt in 1873 following Gothic Revival architecture principles.

The bell tower of Distelrather Kapelle originally served as a fortification structure and stands as the oldest preserved church building component in Düren.

The church interior contains wooden sculptures depicting Saints Simon Zelotes and Judas Thaddaeus, along with a significant painting of Madonna with Child.

A support association established in March 2013 manages the maintenance and preservation efforts of this architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The church houses a 15th-century bell named Maria with a diameter of 670 millimeters, which continues to ring from its medieval tower.
