Properties:
At the beginning of the 20th century, the patron, Count Wilhelm zu Droste-Vischering, agreed to replace the old, dilapidated church with a new Baroque-style building, incorporating the interior furnishings, including the Baroque altars.
The cornerstone was laid in 1911, and in 1912 the church—built in the Neo-Baroque style and designed to complement the magnificent Baroque altars from the sculptor’s workshop of Heinrich Papen in Giershagen, as well as the baptismal font with its alabaster columns—was consecrated. The oldest of the five bells bears the date 1684.
During a renovation from 1973 to 1975, the church’s exterior, which had previously been light gray, was repainted in its original yellow color.
