St. Jakobus d. Ä. und Christophorus

The church features two west towers, a cross nave, and a tower over the crossing, displaying traditional Romanesque architectural elements throughout its structure.

Between 1641 and 1646, Hessian and Swedish troops damaged the monastery and church during the Thirty Years' War, leading to reconstruction efforts from 1661.

The church contains a 1738 organ by Johann Patroclus Möller, which maintains its original components and produces authentic baroque musical tones.

Located at coordinates 51.831728, 9.212288, the church belongs to the pastoral area Steinheim-Marienmünster-Nieheim within the Archdiocese of Paderborn since 2018.

A wrought iron chancel screen from 1693 divides the chancel from the main church body, displaying elaborate metalwork patterns.
