In the heart of Vorst, the church with a nice little forecourt.

The church is the parish church of St. Godehard.

The church was inaugurated in 1896 and offers space for around 2,100 believers on 700 square meters. A number that seems extremely unrealistic these days. 250,000 bricks from Vorster Erde were burned and used to build the church. The costs for the new building (183,000 marks) were raised by the community itself. A remarkable achievement for such a small place. Until the end of the 1960s, the interior was one of the most beautiful and magnificent on the Lower Rhine. The main altar in the choir came from the artist's workshop of Ferdinand Langenberg from Goch and was awarded a gold medal at an exhibition. While the Marienaltar was created in 1902 by artist Cramer from Kempen, the cross altar created by Finally in 1890 is the oldest of the three altars in the Vorst parish church.
