Cranger Kirche, Protestant church in Wanne district, Germany

The neoclassical stone building features a central tower, symmetrical facades, and large windows that illuminate the spacious interior prayer hall.

Derick van Eykel received papal permission in 1441 to construct a chapel north of House Crange, which Archbishop Dietrich von Moers consecrated in 1449.

The church maintains strong connections with the Cranger Fair, a regional celebration that originated from the medieval horse market near the church grounds.

Located next to the Cranger cemetery, the church conducts regular Protestant services and incorporates three steel bells that ring for ceremonies.

The original chapel contained a triptych depicting Christ's Passion with side panels showing Saint Anthony and Saint Laurentius from the 15th century.
