Saint Anthony of Padua Church

Saint Anthony of Padua Church features a neo-Romanesque architecture with red brick construction, rounded arches, and a symmetrical three-aisled basilica layout.

The church construction began in 1896 on land donated by farmer Albert Müller, and the building received its consecration in 1897 under architect Franz Börgershausen.

The interior contains stained glass windows and mosaics by artists Hildegard Bienen and Johannes Geulen, along with a teakwood statue by Alfred Tombers.

The church maintains regular Catholic services and contains four bells in its tower, accompanied by an organ from 1957 for liturgical celebrations.

The bronze main altar, created by Hildegard Bienen, houses relics of Saint Quirinus and other martyrs within the church's sanctuary.
