Friedenskirche, Gothic Revival church in Unterbilk, Germany.
Description
Friedenskirche is a Gothic Revival church in Unterbilk with a rectangular layout divided into three sections. The bell tower rises from a square base that gradually transforms into an octagonal structure.
History
Construction took place between 1896 and 1899 under architect Georg Weidenbach's direction, with local supervision by Moritz Korn. The building rose during a period when new Protestant churches were being built in expanding urban neighborhoods.
Culture
The interior displays large-scale murals by Professor Eduard von Gebhardt depicting biblical scenes, which marked a turning point in Protestant church painting of that era. These artworks shape the atmosphere of the space and reflect the artistic ambitions of the 19th century.
