St. Lambertus, Religious building in Bedburg, Germany.
St. Lambertus is a neo-Gothic hall church built with brick and features a tall western tower situated along a tributary of the Erft River. The structure displays typical neo-Gothic architectural elements with carefully designed interior spaces.
An original parish church at this site was first documented in 1298 and stood for centuries on a cemetery east of town. The old building was demolished in 1823 due to structural deterioration that made it unsafe.
The church serves as a center for worship and community gatherings in Bedburg. It remains a place where people come together for local celebrations and religious observances.
The building underwent major structural work in 1975 and received five new bells from the Mabilon foundry in 1994. Visitors can view the architecture from outside and explore the interior of this place of worship.
During a storm in 1967, the church spire collapsed onto the forecourt in a dramatic incident. This event became a memorable part of the local community's history and remains recalled by residents today.
