This church, which is dedicated to the Holy Cross (Latin "Santa Croce"), relates its patron saint to the cross on which Jesus Christ died. The veneration of the Holy Cross goes back in large part to Saint Helena, who was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who, after his victory at the "Milvian Bridge" outside Rome, recognized Christianity as a religion and in 312 the long time of persecution ended with the Milan “Tolerance Edict”). In the early fourth century she undertook a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel / Palestine) and brought numerous relics from there to Europe, including the "True Cross" on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Helena is therefore often depicted with a cross as an attribute. The feast of the discovery, public presentation and veneration of the Holy Cross - called "Exaltation of the Cross" - is celebrated by the Church on September 14th.

Castor Mine and Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

The Castor mine was the largest lead and zinc ore mine in the Bensberg mining district in the 19th century. Between 1853 and the closure in 1906, more than 50,000 tons of lead ore and zinc ore each were mined. What remained are a few clarification ponds, in which the sludge-like residues of the ore processing could settle before the water was discharged into the Agger. A habitat for aquatic insects and amphibians has been created here.
