Church
The Mariendom in Velbert-Neviges, built by the famous architect Prof. Gottfried Böhm, was inaugurated in 1968. However, the origin of the pilgrimage church goes back to the more than 300-year pilgrimage to the miraculous image of Mary. 
The building is the second largest church in the Archdiocese of Cologne and is considered one of the most important examples of modern church architecture. The artistic design of the altar, the sacramental and Marian columns is picturesque. But the most beautiful ornament is given to the ascetic-looking interior by the large, colorful windows.
