"...The parish of Kevelaer was established in 1472 by separating from the parish of Weeze. The small, east-facing, Gothic village church, built around 1450, remained unchanged until the 19th century. The reconstructed remains of this building are integrated into the current modern church interior and are used as a chapel. A larger, magnificently designed, neo-Gothic church with the approximate floor plan of the present main building was erected only after the construction of the Basilica of Our Lady and was consecrated in 1904. During the Second World War, the church was largely destroyed and rebuilt in 1952. In order to bring the church into compliance with the requirements of the Second Vatican Council, a comprehensive renovation, particularly of the chancel, took place in 1972 (i.e., for the 500th anniversary of the parish's founding). On January 13, 1982, the church burned down to its foundations; only the outer walls of the chapel, the baptistery, the sacristy, and the chancel survived." The chancel and the tower. The modern new building, constructed on the historical foundations, was designed by Dieter Georg Baumewerd. Renowned artists such as Theo Heiermann, Bert Gerresheim, and Joachim Klos created the interior furnishings. On January 17, 1987, the rebuilt church was consecrated by Bishop Reinhard Lettmann. In addition to its regular use as a parish church, St. Antonius, due to its convenient location at the end of the park-like open-air Stations of the Cross, is a popular choice for pilgrimage groups from afar as the site for their final prayers… https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Antonius_(Kevelaer)
