St. Gertrud

St. Gertrud is a Gothic church in Horstmar featuring stone walls, pointed arch windows, and a distinctive bell tower. The building displays typical Gothic details such as colored glass windows showing biblical scenes and vertical architectural lines that draw the eye upward.

The church was built in medieval times and demonstrates the religious architecture of that era through its design. It has retained its original structure and remains an important example of building techniques from that period in North Rhine-Westphalia.

St. Gertrud serves as a gathering place for the community, where worship services and local celebrations shape the spiritual life of Horstmar. The church reflects religious traditions that have been part of daily life here for centuries.

The church is accessible during service times, allowing visitors to see its architecture up close. Information about opening times and any guided tours can be obtained locally or from the parish office.

The building is protected as a heritage monument and preserves construction methods typical of medieval churches. The stonework and the way the vaults were built show craftsmanship that is rarely seen today.
