Willibrordi-Dom, Wesel

The Willibrordi Cathedral in Wesel was built from 1498 to 1540 as a late Gothic basilica with five naves. The tower, erected in 1478, was preserved from the three-nave Gothic predecessor from 1424-1480.

The Willibrordi Cathedral is Wesel's city church, where the Protestant community celebrates services. Ecumenical services are held on the Saturdays before Easter and Christmas and on special occasions. The cathedral provides the outer framework for outstanding events, such as the founding of a town twinning. Organ recitals and concerts of sacred music with the participation of the church music groups at the cathedral, the cathedral cantor and the wind choir are regularly held as part of the Wesel Cathedral Concerts. In addition, a variety of other cultural events take place at the cathedral.
