Propsteikirche St. Georg

Propsteikirche St. Georg is a Gothic church in Vechta with three naves in Westphalian hall design, built from red bricks with a distinctive dome tower in Italian style. The interior displays rich decorative elements and traditional ecclesiastical furnishings that have shaped its appearance over the centuries.

The church's foundation dates to 1452, connecting it to Vechta's medieval history. In the 17th century Swedish forces left marks of destruction that the building still bears today.

The church is dedicated to Saint George, a patron saint with deep roots in the region. This devotion shapes how the community and visitors understand the place today.

Access and viewing are generally possible during daytime hours, but visitors should expect active services and church events. For special tours or information, it makes sense to contact the parish in advance.

The organ was built in 1963 by Alfred Führer and features 39 registers across three manuals and pedals, making it a remarkable instrument. During a 2018 restoration, the instrument was carefully updated while preserving its historical character.
