St Lambertus church

The St Lambertus church with its 14th century brick architecture and grand, tall and twisting spire (reminscent of the Parish Church of Chesterfield in England) is a real icon for the city. The foundation of the church dates back to 1380, when the city of Düsseldorf was named the capital of the Duchy of Berg and a period of rapid development ensued. The tall spire dominated the city for a number of centuries, but now finds itself dwarfed by Düsseldorf's many skyscrapers. Despite its lack of physical stature it still stands out clearly from the opposite bank of the Rhein.
