Facts and practical information

The church Alt St. Martin is the oldest church in Düsseldorf and also the oldest surviving building in the state capital. The origins of the former Bilk parish church lie in Carolingian times. Originally built around the year 700 and rebuilt around the year 1000, the church presumably also served as a parish church for the then neighboring community of Düsseldorf until 1206. In 1812, Alt St. Martin lost its function as the parish church of Bilk and was no longer used as a church for over a century. After war damage and several costly restorations, the Catholic parish of St. Boniface and the Lutheran Lutherkirche parish now regularly celebrate services in Alt St. Martin.
