St. Cäcilia

St. Cäcilia is a three-nave brick hall church with narrow side aisles and a transept in the Düren district. The building displays typical hall church features with evenly distributed columns and vaults.

The parish church was first documented in 1122 when Giselbertus served as priest before becoming abbot of the Augustinian canon monastery at Klosterrath. The current brick building developed through later reconstructions and evolved into its present form over centuries.

The church holds fourteen wooden Stations of the Cross created by Cologne sculptor Josef Fink and installed in 1887. These carvings shape the interior and reflect the craftsmanship of that era.

Visits are best made on weekdays or during services, as the church remains an active parish community. The maintenance and community groups care for the building and organize events throughout the year.

Inside stands a Johannes Klais organ from 1927, a notable example of late romantic organ building in Germany. Together with the historic Anna Bell cast in 1505, these instruments embody different periods of church music and craftsmanship.
