St. Mariä Heimsuchung

St. Mariä Heimsuchung is a small Roman Catholic filial church in the Schaufenberg district of Alsdorf, near Aachen. Built in the baroque period, it has historically served as both a parish and a burial church for the local community. Notably, an English-language Catholic mass is held every Sunday at 10:30 — an unusual offering in this rural part of the Aachen city-region that draws an international congregation. The church reportedly faces deconsecration and closure due to financial pressures, making it a place of active community concern.
