    In 1850, after Bessenich became a parish, the existing chapel was expanded with an extension and a tower. The church was further expanded in 1930. The ceremonial inauguration took place on September 21, 1932.

    In Bessenich is the Church of St. Christopherus, which is dated before 1601 as this is the oldest tombstone in the cemetery.
    The church was expanded in 1932 and has had a brick rotunda ever since. That was unique for a long time. The rotunda is in the chancel and you have to see the church from behind. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of it.
    The church is open on Sundays from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.


    There is a war memorial on the forecourt of the church.
