Stapelmoorer Kirche, Medieval church in Weener, Germany
The Stapelmoorer Kirche features tall brick walls with Romanesque decorative elements and a saddle-roof tower that extends above the primary structure.
Built between 1250 and 1275 on elevated ground, the church initially served as a subsidiary to the Aschendorf church and included defensive features like arrow slits.
The interior contains medieval ceiling paintings depicting mythical creatures, geometric patterns, and plant ornaments, which remained hidden until their rediscovery in 1967.
The church maintains its religious functions and houses a baptismal font made of Bentheimer sandstone, supported by four stylized lions from the 13th century.
The building follows an unusual Greek cross layout without right angles, making it an architectural exception among religious structures in East Frisia.
