The Protestant church is very romantically embedded in the beautiful village of Düssel, surrounded by meadows and fields. A path lined with trees to the left and right leads to the main entrance of the church. Here you can make the "most beautiful day of your life" a reality.

The Evangelical Church of Düssel is a Protestant church in the district of Düssel, which belongs to Wülfrath. The church building was built from 1874 to 1876. The building is a hall with romanized decorative shapes [

The foundation stone was laid on August 11, 1873, but construction was delayed by three years due to financial difficulties. The inauguration took place on July 28, 1876. The construction costs amounted to 30,000 thalers instead of the originally estimated 13,000 thalers.

On March 8, 1945, the tower and the nave were badly damaged by bombs, but were then rebuilt. In the entrance area there are two memorial plaques that commemorate the parishioners who died in the two world wars.

The church is sponsored and used by the Evangelical Parish of Düssel, which is the only independent parish in Wülfrath, but whose catchment area also extends to parts of Wuppertal. It is united with the Bergische Diakonie Aprath, which was previously run as a separate congregation.

"... In 1870 the Greef brothers, at that time the owners of the" Haus Düssel "moated castle, transferred a plot of around ½ acre, the so-called Lindenhügel, to the evangelical parish for the construction of a new church .
To the left of the main entrance you can see the corner stone with the year 1873. In this a box was walled in with the following content: A file from the presbytery and the building commission, in which the wish was expressed that Christ should also be the cornerstone in this church, that no other speech should ever be heard in it precious word of God and the holy gospel of the wholesome grace of God appearing in Christ Jesus; furthermore one copy of the Reformed hymn book and one copy of the Heidelberg catechism, a picture of the old church, a coin from 1873 as well as a victory thaler from 1871 and a coronation thaler.
The church was built as a hall with a semicircular apse and west tower. Romanizing decorative forms and arched windows characterize the external appearance of the sacred building. Heavy sandstone blocks from the Kidney Hof area (city of Velbert) were used as building material. The construction costs without organ and bells were estimated at 13,000 thalers, but the church finally cost 30,000 thalers. The consecration took place on July 28, 1876. ... "
