St. Maria Rosenkranz, Romanesque Revival church in Wersten, Germany

The three-nave basilica features round arches, a transept, circular apse, and a tower integrated into the portal with double-arched windows.

Construction began in 1907 under architect Wilhelm Sültenfuß, leading to the church's consecration by Auxiliary Bishop Dr. Jos. Müller in October 1910.

The church maintains connections with Vietnamese Catholics, offering regular religious services conducted in the Vietnamese language for the local community.

The church provides a library with dedicated opening hours on Sundays and Wednesdays, offering religious literature and educational resources.

During World War II, a bomb explosion in April 1944 caused extensive damage, leading to a renovation by architect Hans Schwippert until 1957.
