The provost church of St. Ludgerus, also called Ludgerus Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage church in the town of Billerbeck in the diocese of Münster and one of the two churches of the parish and provost community of St. Johannes and St. Ludgerus. It is a neo-Gothic hall church with a transept.

History

Bishop Liudger baptized in Billerbeck and founded the parish church of St. John the Baptist there before 800. A chapel dedicated to the saint was built in the 11th century at the place where he died or in the vicinity, and was probably associated with a cult of St. Ludgerus from the beginning. The secondary patron was St. Nicholas of Myra. In the 15th century, this chapel was extended in Gothic style. Under Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen (1650–1678), the tower was raised by one storey. Towards the end of the 19th century, the building was demolished to make way for a new building. The present provost church was built between 1892 and 1898 on the foundations of the essentially Romanesque Ludgeri Church and a mortuary chapel built around 1735 by the master builder Wilhelm Rincklake (1851–1927). He designed the nave in the form of a basilica with a transept and the 100 m high pair of towers from the Baumberg sandstone found in the nearby Baumbergen mountains.
