St. Clemens, Romanesque church in Drolshagen, Germany.
St. Clemens is a three-aisle pillar basilica with five bays and rectangular columns that support the roof with vaulted ceilings. The structure is held up by sturdy stone pillars that keep the entire building together.
A silver coin from the era of Emperor Otto III, discovered during restoration work, suggests that the church was built around 1000. This coin proves a long religious presence at this location.
The wall paintings inside show medieval artworks from the 10th and 11th centuries that remain visible today. They are among the earliest examples of this kind in the Westphalia region.
The visit is easy to reach on foot, and a large tower from 1491 serves as a clear landmark in the landscape. The surroundings give enough space to explore the area.
Several columns inside come from an ancient Roman aqueduct that was transported here from the Eifel region. These reused stones connect the Roman past with medieval architecture.
