Rochuskirche, Roman Catholic church in Pempelfort, Germany.

The church structure features three parabolic space shells that form an egg-shaped dome, supported by twelve vertical pillars representing the apostles.

Initially constructed in 1894 under architect Josef Kleesattel, Rochuskirche underwent substantial reconstruction after World War II damage, with completion 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 maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors throughout the day, with convenient access via public transportation in Düsseldorf.

Vertical seams in the structure allow natural light to filter through narrow strips, creating geometric patterns that change throughout the day.
