St. Pankratius, Gothic parish church in Gescher, Germany.
The church structure combines late Gothic and neo-Gothic elements, constructed with brick and natural stone in a spacious hall configuration with three bays.
The parish of Gescher, initially called Gascheri, received its first documented mention in 1229 as an offshoot of the Stadtlohn congregation.
The interior walls feature pale pastel decorations with painted curtains displaying cross and checkered patterns, creating a distinct visual environment.
The church maintains regular religious services and community gatherings, supported by priests and numerous volunteers from the local congregation.
The stone altarpiece in the choir, created by Elmar Hillebrand in 1962, depicts Christ on the cross surrounded by the twelve apostles.
