Schwanenkirche Roes, Gothic pilgrimage church in Roes, Germany
The Schwanenkirche stands as a three-nave church with modern architecture, featuring large pointed arches and concrete walls with pumice stone elements.
The original structure from 1460, built by the lords of Pyrmont and Erenberg, was destroyed during an air raid in 1944 and rebuilt between 1950 and 1952.
The church displays historical artifacts including a restored 15th-century Pieta and stained glass windows that reflect regional religious traditions.
Located at coordinates 50.2362, 7.25273, the church welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM throughout the year.
The name derives from a legend about a knight who escaped captivity on a swan's back through Virgin Mary's intervention and later constructed the church.
