Guided Story
In front of you stands the Heart of Jesus Church, affectionately known as the Frankenberger Dom. This Romanesque Revival stone basilica was designed by architect Josef Kleesattel and constructed between 1908 and 1910. Look up to see one of the largest mosaics in the Diocese of Aachen, stretching above the altar. As an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia, it serves as a significant example of Romanesque revival architecture. Dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the church holds a deep spiritual significance. Listen closely, and you might hear the sounds of the organ, an integral part of this Catholic parish church.
