Basilika St. Lambertus

Basilika St. Lambertus is a beautiful historic church in Düsseldorf’s Old Town. The famous twisted spire is a real landmark, and inside it’s calm with lovely Gothic details. Great quick stop near the Rhine and the main squares

Loved this church and my visit here. There were only a few other visitors and a couple of locals, and the streets of the old town around it were also peaceful, since people were crowded in restaurants a bit further. The church has a mystical light and a lot of art works: sculptures, paintings and frescoes from different centuries, some original and very old! Definitely worth visiting!

Lovely old church in the center of Dusseldorf. You can walk around the altar, see many interesting sacred paintings, though I expected something more.

The oldest basilica in dusseldorf. Iconic and historical. Very serene and full of history. St Lambertus 635

St. Lambertus is sacred to the people of Düsseldorf for several reasons: Firstly, the Catholic church is a landmark of the historical Altstadt (Old town), on the other hand, its church festival forms the spiritual background to the worldly pleasure, the “Biggest funfair on the Rhine” which is still popular today. Description The three-aisled hall church, built in the style of the Lower Rhine brick Gothic, was founded in 1288, the year of the city founding. Its present appearance is the result of a fire in 1815 that destroyed the spire. The renovation was probably done using fresh, damp wood, which resulted in the roof becoming twisted. Legend has it that the devil twisted the church tower as he tried to uproot the church. The new west portal from the 1950s is the work of the sculptor Ewald Mataré.

Beautiful , inspiring and thought provoking church

A nice old church. Located at the oldest part of Dusseldorf, it is very close the Rhein river. It is very elegant and old. Very unfortunate that I didn't go inside. There are some other sculpture on the area going there though.

Since it’s the oldest standing building on Düsseldorf, I had to make a trip to visit to t . Unfortunately, it was barred closed at time of visit. Impressive architecture from the outside, at least.
