Church in Dreveskirchen, church
Church in Dreveskirchen is a brick structure built in the Gothic style during the second half of the 13th century. The building has a simple rectangular nave with two sections, a square chancel, and a western tower from the 14th century with an upper section added in 1888.
The church was first mentioned in 1229 and was originally part of a larger church district called Neuburg. In 1318 it became a separate church with its own parish, demonstrating its long importance to the community.
The church takes its name from its location in the Dreveskirchen region. Today visitors experience the space through its medieval structure and surviving artworks, such as the apostle medallions from around 1870 positioned above the main archway.
The interior displays decorations from different periods and can be visited during regular opening times. The church is surrounded by a cemetery where visitors can explore graves of long-established families.
During restoration in 1995 medieval paintings were discovered in the vaults showing figures and decorative details from centuries past. These hidden artworks offer rare insights into the artistic decoration from earlier periods.
