The Catholic parish church of St. Clemens is a listed church building in Kallenhardt, a district of Rüthen in the Soest district (North Rhine-Westphalia).
The simple, plastered hall building of the Gothic Baroque was built in 1722. The building, standing on the top of a mountain cone, closes with a drawn-in choir closed on three sides. The west tower from the 13th century is crowned with a kink helmet. A pointed arched, stepped portal with tracery remains is embedded in the south side of the tower. The north portal was bricked up. The baroque hall is structured by high, arched windows. A building inscription can be read above the richly decorated segment arch portal on the south side. In the interior, star vaults are drawn in over stepped wall pillars. The first floor of the tower is vaulted with a groin and an ogival arch open to the nave. The west tower with a mighty retaining wall on the west side was restored in 1792.
