The Church of St. Suitbertus at Suitbertusplatz 1 in the Düsseldorf district of Bilk was built in two construction phases 1905–1906 and 1927. The Catholic church has been a listed building since 1994.

In August 1902 the decision was made to divide the parish of St. Martin in Bilk and to build a rectorate church on today's Suitbertusplatz. The construction of the church began in 1905/1906 based on a design by Alfred Tepe. On October 1, 1911, the new church district was elevated to an independent parish.

In 1925, the church council decided to significantly expand it. The nave was extended and the church tower was built in 1927 based on a design by the Düsseldorf architects Hans Tietmann and Karl Haake. In 1943 the church was largely destroyed in bombing raids. Reconstruction began in 1947. The glazing was renewed in 1949. In 1967 the interior was redesigned, and in 1969 an extensive renovation and reconstruction took place. In 1990 all restoration work was completed.

The original part of the sacred building was built in the neo-Gothic style as a three-aisled basilica. The interior is based on high Gothic churches, while the exterior, with its simple shapes and building material, follows the north German brick Gothic.

At 80.23 meters, the second highest church tower in the city of Düsseldorf dominates the entire building complex. The original tower top was made of wood and covered with copper sheet. It was destroyed in World War II; the current tower helmet was put on in 1968 and largely renewed in 2004/2005.
