Dorfkirche Wengern, Church monument in Wengern, Germany.
The Dorfkirche Wengern stands near a stream in the Elbsche valley, constructed with exposed Ruhr sandstone masonry reflecting regional architectural characteristics.
First documented in 1246 as St. Liborius Church, the building underwent Gothic extensions in 1264 and received its tower construction in 1678.
The Protestant Lutheran congregation, established in 1543, maintains two denominational kindergartens and organizes community activities in Wengern and Esborn districts.
The church building belongs to the Hattingen-Witten church district of the Protestant Church of Westphalia and serves approximately 3,800 congregation members.
During renovation work, several skull niches with walled-in human skulls were discovered within the church structure.
