St. Lambertus Cathedral

St. Lambertus Cathedral, a defining landmark of Düsseldorf’s Altstadt old town, was founded in 1288, the same year as the city itself. This Gothic church is renowned for its twisted spire, a feature that local legend attributes to the devil’s handiwork. However, the spire’s unique shape is actually the result of 19th-century renovations. Visitors can explore the cathedral’s historic interior and admire the distinctive tower, which adds a touch of intrigue to the skyline of Düsseldorf’s old town.
