St. Lambertus, Catholic church in Castrop-Rauxel, Germany.

Description

St. Lambertus is a three-nave basilica built from Ruhr sandstone with a single tower and neo-Gothic design features. The interior houses an organ with 40 registers and five bronze bells that were cast between 1919 and 2005.

History

The church was founded before the year 1000 and shaped by later renovations. The current building was constructed according to architect Arnold Güldenpfennig's designs between 1889 and 1890.

Culture

The church is named after Saint Lambertus and serves as a gathering place for believers from multiple surrounding communities. People come here for worship and community events that shape the religious life of the area.

Practical

The church is accessible to visitors, particularly during worship times and religious observances. Those wishing to explore the interior should be aware that active services may limit access.
