Sigwardskirche Idensen, Romanesque church building in Idensen, Germany.
The Sigwardskirche features carefully carved sandstone blocks, forming a single-nave structure with three bays and a polygonal apse.
Bishop Sigward of Minden commissioned this church between 1129 and 1134, selecting it as his summer residence before his burial there in 1140.
The interior walls display Biblical scenes through Romanesque frescoes, presenting paired images from the Old and New Testament throughout the nave.
The church welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with restrictions during religious services from Easter to Harvest Festival.
The church houses three historical bells, including the oldest surviving bell in Lower Saxony, dating back to its original construction period.
