St. Aldegundis, Romanesque church in Kaarst, Germany
St. Aldegundis features a four-story tower with a chapel dedicated to St. Michael on the first floor and a belfry on the upper level.
Dating back to the 12th century, the original structure was built in 1166 upon the foundations of an earlier 9th-century church mentioned in St. Ludgerus's writings.
The wooden ceiling of the nave displays paintings from 1896 by artist Wunderwald, while the side aisle vaults showcase works from the same period.
The church contains five bronze bells in its tower, with only the small Marian bell from 1927 remaining after World War II requisitions.
The tower's architectural elements, including window slits, suggest it served as a potential refuge point during medieval times.
