St. Lambertus is the oldest building in Düsseldorf's historic Old Town, with roots going back to the 13th century. Following the Battle of Worringen in 1288, Count Adolf V elevated the small town of Düsseldorf to city status, and shortly after founded a collegiate chapter at the church, which was subsequently expanded in the Gothic style. The church's most recognizable feature is its twisted spire, which came about in 1815 when damp timber was used during reconstruction after a fire — making it one of Düsseldorf's most beloved landmarks. Right in front of the church entrance lies the Stiftsplatz, a cobblestoned square shaded by trees and surrounded by low-rise buildings, offering a surprisingly quiet and almost village-like escape from the bustle of the Old Town.
