Rochuskirche, Roman Catholic church in Pempelfort, Germany.
Rochuskirche is a church in Pempelfort, Düsseldorf, known for its distinctive architectural form. The building features three parabolic space shells that combine to create an egg-shaped dome, supported by twelve vertical pillars that represent the apostles.
The church was originally built in 1894 by architect Josef Kleesattel. Following significant damage during World War II, it was substantially reconstructed and reopened in 1954.
The building incorporates both Romanesque Revival elements and modernist design principles, making it a significant architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The church is easily accessible by public transportation in Düsseldorf and welcomes visitors during daylight hours. Regular worship services take place, so it is best to check ahead for service times before planning your visit.
Narrow vertical seams in the structure allow natural light to filter through in geometric patterns that shift as the day progresses. This intentional lighting design creates a constantly changing interior experience that visitors often find memorable.
