Properties:
The town chapel of St. Georg in Arnsberg, a historical gem in the Hochsauerland district, attracts visitors in winter with its quiet majesty and the magic of bygone eras. Its origins date back to before 1173, when it served as a branch parish of the original parish in Hüsten. From 1323, the Premonstratensians from Wedinghausen took over the pastoral duties, and the building in early Gothic style that has been preserved today, supplemented by a sacristy added in 1730, bears witness to its long history as a religious center.
Inside, the chapel impresses with its magnificent, baroque interior from the 17th century, which became necessary after the iconoclasm of 1583. The impressive main altar, created in 1692 by Johann Brune from Menden, and other altars, donated by the estates of the Duchy of Westfalen and Mayor Johan von Bilefeldt in 1668, give the chapel a unique atmosphere that evokes a feeling of reverence and contemplation, especially in the winter darkness.
Especially in winter, the chapel can be used for events on request, with the quiet charm of the historic walls providing a special backdrop for festive and contemplative gatherings. A visit to the Stadtkapelle St. Georg not only promises a journey into the past, but also an oasis of calm during the cold season. Experience the cultural and historical significance of this building and be enchanted by its timeless charm.
