St. Mariä Empfängnis

St. Mariä Empfängnis stands as a Roman Catholic church within the Franciscan monastery complex in Velbert, featuring baroque altars and traditional architectural elements.

The church construction began in 1719, measuring 43.6 meters in length and 13.55 meters in height, replacing a smaller chapel dedicated to Saint Anna.

The church maintains its role as a religious center through daily masses, rosary prayers, and special services that unite the local Catholic community.

The building provides regular confession opportunities on weekdays before evening masses and hosts various religious ceremonies throughout the calendar year.

The first organ, donated in 1748, underwent major renovations in 1974 and 2001, enhancing the musical capabilities of this historical religious structure.
