In the western district of Kaalheide. Beautiful, original, monumental church with tower and roof turret. The history of the St. Joseph's Church in Kerkrade, Kapelweg 5, is closely linked to the development of the Kaalheide district. Kaalheide was a rural area until the 1920s, but due to industrialization in the region, the population of Kerkrade grew rapidly. In 1922, Kaalheide became an independent parish and it was decided to build a new church. The architect of the church was Hubert van Groenendael, a prominent architect from Roermond. He designed a neo-Romanesque church with a basilica floor plan. The church has a tower of 45 meters high. Construction of the church began in 1926 and was completed in 1928. The church was consecrated on September 11, 1928 by the bishop of Roermond, mgr. JJ Lemmens.
