St. Elisabethkirche

St. Elisabethkirche is a parish church and architectural monument featuring a brick facade with a distinctive bell tower rising prominently. The interior showcases a wooden vaulted ceiling that forms the main visual element of the worship space.

A Catholic community formed in the late 1800s when Polish and Silesian workers moved to the area seeking employment. The church represents the religious roots that this immigrant community established in the town.

The church is named after Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, with her statue positioned above the entrance to show her commitment to helping others. This naming reflects what the community values and what matters to people who worship here.

The church building is located in town and easy to find from the street. To visit inside or for specific information about the space, it helps to contact ahead of time or check local announcements about when the doors are open.

Three bronze bells from 2017 replaced the earlier steel bells and carry names including Michael, Saint Bernhard Lichtenberg, and Saint Hedwig. These newer bells blend modern craftsmanship with spiritual tradition and honor figures important to the faith.
