Evangelische Stadtkirche Lennep, Baroque church in Remscheid, Germany.

The Evangelische Stadtkirche Lennep is a Protestant church in Remscheid-Lennep, built 1750–1756 as a baroque preaching church of the Bergisch type. Its 27 × 18 m hall has altar, pulpit and organ stacked on the principal wall. The 51 m west tower, 8 × 8 m, dates from the 13th century and is topped by a slate-clad octagonal onion dome with a small ridge turret.

The core of the church was a chapel dedicated to Saint Nicholas belonging to a manor that the Duke of Limburg gave to Cologne's St. Kunibert monastery in the 13th century; around 1300 the liber valoris still records only a capella. Lennep gained its own parish church, dedicated to Saint James the Elder, in the 14th century, and the lower storeys of the west tower, built of large rectangular blocks of coal sandstone, date from the 13th century. The Reformation was introduced around 1540; after the fourth town fire of 1746 the church was rebuilt between 1750 and 1756 as a baroque Protestant preaching church, with the organ consecrated in 1779.

The church is a stop on the Way of St. James, and its main altar was dedicated to Saint James the Elder, while a side altar funded by the townspeople was dedicated to Saint Nicholas. The organ, built by the Kleine workshop in 1779, was restored in 1980 by Beckerath of Hamburg and has 33 stops on two manuals and pedal.

The church is generally open during worship services and special events, with visiting hours that may vary depending on the season. Check with local tourist information or the church's website to confirm current access times before planning a visit.

The building holds formal protection status as a cultural monument in North Rhine-Westphalia, safeguarding its baroque architecture for future generations. This designation reflects the church's importance as a heritage structure within the region's architectural history.
