The collegiate and provost church St. Mariä Himmelfahrt goes back to a church near the Kleve castle that was mentioned in 1170. The current building was built between 1341 and 1426. After the almost complete destruction in the Second World War, the reconstruction based on the historical model was completed in 1969.
