In the city, there are several well-preserved religious constructions. The most beautiful church in the city is Mönchengladbacher Münster St. Vitus. At one time, there was a big monastery at the site of the old church. More than a thousand years ago, the city started to be formed around it. Only the church built in the 12th century has survived to the present day. The basilica is an impressive example of Roman architecture. Its architectural appearance is complemented by elegant Gothic elements. An important relic is kept in the basilica. Every year, thousands of pilgrims come here to worship it. The building also houses the 800-year-old piece of the cloth covering the table during the Lord’s Supper. The tablecloth is displayed for worshipers and admirers every seven years. It is usually stored in a closed golden box. The interior of the church lacks elegant decorative elements. It has remained unchanged since the construction.
Fans of unusual excursions should certainly visit the Museum Hugo-Junkers-Hangar located in a small hangar. Now, it houses the themed collection dedicated to the history of manufacturing of Junkers planes. The main exhibit of the museum is the well-preserved model of an airplane. Visitors can touch most of the exhibits displayed here. For this reason, the themed museum is very popular with visitors with children.
