Guided Story
Take a close look at the impressive west tower. Built in Romanesque style, its sturdy rubble stone construction highlights its robust beauty. At the top, the hood with its crowning lantern catches the light beautifully at sunset. As you step inside, you're greeted by the baroque interior, giving the church an almost solemn atmosphere. Architect Joseph Erb crafted this building in 1784 with skill and vision, resulting in what you see here. Originally named St. Georg, this church is a protected architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia, echoing centuries of lived history. Turn around, and you might catch a glimpse of the Wiembachtal and Ölbachtal in the distance, another testament to the natural beauty surrounding Leverkusen.
