St. Stephanus, Bork

The St. Stephanus church building features a vaulted baroque hall constructed with plastered rubble stone and side aisles with buttresses made of ashlars.

After the tower collapse in 1716, the current church structure was built between 1718 and 1724, with parish rights held by Cappenberg Monastery from 1174 to 1802.

The interior displays ornamental windows in the nave and five specific windows behind the altar depicting scenes from the life of St. Stephen.

The church bells include one large bronze bell from 1836 by Alexius Petit and three smaller ones produced in 1949 by Petit & Edelbrock in Gescher.

The church interior contains a wooden crucifix from the 18th century that previously served as a wayside cross before being positioned behind the new altar.
