Evangelische Kirche Frechen, church building in Germany
The Evangelische Kirche Frechen is a church building in North Rhine-Westphalia built mainly between 1716 and 1717 in baroque style. The structure combines original baroque design with early 20th-century additions, including a bell tower with rounded arch openings and a low roof that preserves the historic appearance.
The roots of this community go back to the mid-1500s when supporters of the Reformation began gathering here, and by 1576 an established Protestant congregation had formed. The current building was constructed between 1716 and 1717 with financial support from the Netherlands, then extended between 1913 and 1920.
The church's name reflects its connection to the Protestant reform tradition that shaped it centuries ago. Today it serves as a gathering place where the local community comes together, and visitors can see how the architecture represents the craftsmanship valued by people here.
The building is located on a main street in Frechen and is easy to find and access. The interior is open to visitors who wish to see the baroque architecture and the historic wooden carvings and old gravestones in the entrance area.
Inside the building is a pulpit without a sound cover and three printing blocks from 1675, rare objects that reveal the artistic craftsmanship present in this place. Two baroque gravestones are attached to the walls, their exact history unknown, yet they add a layer of past centuries to the space.
