St. Heinrich und Kunigunde in Schloß Neuhaus, Catholic parish church in Schloß Neuhaus, Paderborn, Germany.
St. Heinrich und Kunigunde is a Catholic parish church in Schloß Neuhaus with a single-nave layout divided into three bays and cross vaults supported by buttresses. Pointed arch windows with tracery patterns run throughout the building's exterior.
A place of worship stood here from 1437, but the current building was constructed between 1666 and 1668 under Bishop Ferdinand von Fürstenberg's direction. This rebuilding reflected broader efforts to strengthen religious institutions during that period.
The high altar shows scenes of Saint Kunigunde being tested by fire, with sculptures and angels around it that tell stories important to the local faith.
The church is located centrally in Schloß Neuhaus and can be reached on foot through local streets. Visitors should note that regular services take place here, as it remains an active parish church.
The coat of arms of Bishop Ferdinand von Fürstenberg appears above the north doorway, marking his direct involvement in the building. This was an uncommon gesture that turned the church into a symbol of his power and influence.
