Evangelische Stadtkirche, Protestant church in Wermelskirchen, Germany

Description

The Evangelische Stadtkirche is a Protestant church featuring Romanesque architecture with a sandstone and tuff tower, paired sound openings, and a flat gabled roof. The baptismal font carved from trachyte stone dates to the 12th century and measures about 123 centimeters across.

History

The Romanesque tower dates to the late 11th or early 12th century, while the first written record of the church appears in 1300. The chapel on the second floor underwent restoration in 2002 and retained its original cross-ribbed vault.

Culture

The interior reflects Protestant beliefs through simple decoration, with polygonal columns supporting galleries and a ceiling divided into three sections. The space shows how the congregation expressed their faith through the way the room is organized.

Practical

The church is open during services and can be visited at other times by arrangement. Access is straightforward, and the Romanesque architecture of the exterior makes the building's long history apparent before you even step inside.

Did you know?

The Michael's Chapel on the tower's second floor is one of the oldest surviving rooms and contains a cross-ribbed vault that was restored to visibility in 2002. This hidden vault reveals the craftsmanship of the medieval builders who constructed the church.
