St. Albanus und Leonhardus

St. Albanus und Leonhardus is a church building in the Gothic Revival style located in Kerpen. Its construction incorporates volcanic lava stone and local rocks, with an impressive interior staircase designed in the late 1800s.

A church first stood at this location during the Carolingian period, though it was rebuilt several times over the centuries. The current building in Gothic Revival style was constructed in the late 1800s to replace its predecessors.

The church is dedicated to two saints whose names reflect local religious traditions. The building served as the spiritual center where the community gathered for worship and celebrations.

Access to the building is available, though it is advisable to check opening times with the local community beforehand. Allow adequate time to observe the Gothic Revival architectural details and interior design.

The building preserves sections of an original medieval choir within its later Gothic Revival structure. These older remnants reveal how different construction periods were layered into the same structure.
