Stiepeler Dorfkirche, Romanesque church in Bochum, Germany.
The Stiepeler Dorfkirche features ornate interior paintings covering its walls and ceilings, with detailed religious scenes from different medieval periods.
The church structure dates from the 12th century when a Romanesque basilica replaced an original single-nave building established by Countess Imma.
The interior displays religious artworks spanning four centuries, including Romanesque depictions of biblical scenes and Late Gothic Paradise paintings on the north wall.
Visitors can explore the church every day except Monday, with guided tours available to learn about the medieval architecture and wall paintings.
The stone reliefs inside the church portray a lion and dragon, representing the conflict between Christ and Satan through medieval symbolism.
