St. Remigius, Gothic church building in Viersen, Germany

St. Remigius is a Roman Catholic parish church in Viersen whose late Gothic nave was built in 1484, with a tower added around 1350 that stands visibly offset from the nave. Inside, the choir was painted by Viersen artist Georg Ettl in 2004, and the 1999 altar ensemble of Aachen bluestone and Italian Bardiglio marble holds relics of St. Polycarp, St. Maurice, St. Boniface and St. Engelbert.

A stone church existed in Viersen by the 8th or 9th century; around 1181 it became a three-aisled Romanesque basilica and was documented in 1185. The tower was added around 1350, and the present Late Gothic nave was built in 1484. After a collapse in 1699 it was rebuilt by 1704, heavily damaged on 24 February 1945, and reconsecrated on 25 September 1949.

The parish holds regular concerts by the Förderverein für Kirchenmusik an St. Remigius, and since 1 July 2019 cantor Michael Park has led the church music, following Thorsten Konigorski (1999–2019), Hans-Wilhelm Hoff (1960–1999) and Hans Jöris (1920–1960). In the chancel stands a mobile choir organ built in 2002 by Martin Scholz of Mönchengladbach after Italian Baroque models and painted by Horst Lerche.

The church is located in downtown Viersen at Goetersstraße 8, making it easy to find and access in a central neighborhood. It hosts regular services and provides nearby facilities through the adjacent Remigiussaal for gatherings and events.

The main organ was built by Gerald Woehl and inaugurated on 2 December 1984; its 52 stops on four manuals and pedal are mechanically actioned, and the case design is by Heinz Döhmen and Woehl. Its specification was drawn up by Viktor Scholz, Hans Wilhelm Hoff and Gerald Woehl, and it has been called a strong French organ accent on the Lower Rhine. A second, mobile nine-stop choir organ by Martin Scholz dates from 2002.
