The church was built between 1826 and 1830 by district architect Otto von Gloeden. It is worth taking a look inside: a baroque high altar from the dissolved St. Catherine's Monastery in Düsseldorf-Gerresheim, a Klais organ with 24 registers, into which a historical organ from 1754 was integrated as a Rückpositiv

Kirchhöfnerring Kettwig

Highlight • Settlement

The origins of Kettwig can be traced back to the ring of houses surrounding the ancient St. Peter's Church – today the Protestant church on the market square. These houses contained, among other things, a brewery, the sexton's residence, a shop selling postcards and dolls, and the guildhall.

Protestant church on the market

Highlight • Religious Site

It was first documented in 1199 as the Church of St. Peter. The oldest part of the church is the tower, which dates from the early 13th century. The nave, which was largely destroyed by looting and burning in the 16th and 17th centuries, was rebuilt between 1719 and 1721 in the Bergisch Baroque style. The pulpit and the organ are particularly important inside.
