St. Stephanus

St. Stephanus is a branch church located in the Bockum-Hövel district of Hamm and displays traditional North Rhine-Westphalian church design. The building features a modest facade with a bell tower and was constructed using regional building methods that remain visible in its stonework and proportions.

The church was built during a period when Hamm expanded its neighborhoods and infrastructure to accommodate growing population. It reflects the religious building efforts that took place as the city developed during this era of urban expansion.

Local residents gather at St. Stephanus for religious ceremonies and community events, maintaining traditions across generations in Bockum-Hövel.

The church is accessible by public transportation from central Hamm and has parking spaces near the entrance for those arriving by car. Visitors should note that this is an active place of worship where opening times may vary depending on scheduled services and community events.

The church holds official status as an architectural heritage monument, reflecting the preservation standards of North Rhine-Westphalia's cultural landmarks.
