Attraction
Lucius Church, Essen
St. Lucius Church is located north of St. Ludgerus Basilica. Construction of St. Lucius Church began in 995, and it was consecrated in 1063.
It served as a branch church of Werden Abbey and is considered one of the oldest parish churches north of the Alps.
Originally a simple hall church, it was given two low side aisles around 1100. After secularisation, it was used first as a granary and later as a residential building. The chancel apse and the uppermost floor of the tower were demolished for this purpose. Reconstruction began in 1957, and St. Lucius Church was reconsecrated in 1965.
