Guided Story

Feel the calmness surrounding you here? Take a look at those beautifully crafted windows and the elegant pointed arches. Originally, this was the Friedenskirche, a place of prayer and community. Today, a different kind of community thrives within these walls, living within a space once dedicated to faith. Just behind you, you might catch a glimpse of the Fischerturm, adding another layer of history to this vibrant city. The transformation of this church into living space was one of the first of its kind in Germany, symbolizing the adaptability and resilience of architecture. Not far from here, about 600 meters to the northeast, you'll find the St. Franziskus Church, another peaceful retreat in Rheydt.
