St. Ludgerus, Religious monument in Weseke, Borken, Germany.

St. Ludgerus is a neo-Gothic brick hall church built 1892–1895 to plans by Hilger Hertel, with a three-aisled nave, transept and polygonal apses. Its 75-metre west tower rises from four polygonal corner turrets into an octagonal slate spire with clock faces. Tall pointed windows with high-Gothic tracery light the interior.

The parish of Weseke was founded at the end of the 14th century. By the mid-19th century the old village church no longer sufficed for the growing population, so a neo-Gothic brick hall church was built from 1892 to 1895 to plans by the Münster architect Hilger Hertel. Bishop Hermann Dingelstad consecrated it on 11 July 1895. It is dedicated to Liudger, the first Bishop of Münster.

The parish was founded at the end of the 14th century, and the church is dedicated to Liudger, the first Bishop of Münster. The windows installed after the Second World War were donated by Weseke families; the present windows, made by Josef Gesing of Herne, date from 1963–1966. The four bells were cast by the Bochumer Verein in 1949, a foundry rare in a region dominated by Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock.

The church was closed for renovation from 3 May 2021 to 26 February 2023; during that period Masses and devotions were held in the neighbouring parish hall. The 75-metre tower makes the church easy to locate from across the Weseke area. Visitors should dress respectfully and avoid disturbing services.

The four bells in the tower were cast in 1949 by the Bochumer Verein, an unusual choice for this region, where bells from Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock otherwise predominate. The organ, built by Walcker in 1913, has 27 registers on two manuals and pedal with mechanical action.
