The 100-metre high towers of the cathedral have long been the landmark of Billerbeck. Located in the centre of the town, they are visible from afar and establish Billerbeck's reputation as a cathedral town. The mighty structure was built between 1892 and 1898 and is one of the region's outstanding places of worship.
The mighty church was named after St. Ludgerus, who died on this spot during a missionary journey. The death chapel of the first bishop of Münster is located in the south tower. The window glazing and the Ludgerus organ, consecrated in 2014, are particularly remarkable.
