Located at the Froweinplatz in Velbert. From there you can drive a little dangling through the old town, which is really worth seeing.

"... The Church of St. Michael is a Roman Catholic local church in Velbert-Langenberg. It belongs to the parish of St. Michael and Paulus Velbert in the District Deanery of Mettmann in the Archdiocese of Cologne.

Story:
The chapel built in Langenberg between 1725 and 1727 was replaced between 1899 and 1900 by a new building based on designs by Joseph Prill (1852–1935) and which still stands today. It is a neo-Gothic red brick basilica with a polygonal chancel, transept with turret and projecting tower. The church was consecrated in honor of Archangel Michael.
