St. Remigius, Baroque parish church in Freisen, Germany.

St. Remigius is a baroque parish church in Freisen featuring detailed ornamentation and structural designs from the mid-1700s. The building displays characteristic elements of German baroque architecture with carefully crafted details throughout its interior and exterior.

A chapel in Freisen was first documented in 1333, and a church in 1572, when the court book records a new building. This was remodelled in baroque style between 1756 and 1760; other sources date the present hall church with west tower to 1753 or 1760. The tower was rebuilt in 1846, and in 1953 a transept and choir by Albert Dietz and B. Grothe gave the church its cruciform plan.

The three 18th-century altars carry Rocaille ornament; the high altar has a two-storey structure with eight putti and bishop figures, while each side altar has four putti, though the niche figures are not original. Carved statues of the Virgin and Child, Saint Sebastian and Saint Catherine also date from the 18th century.

The church stands in the village centre of Freisen, in the St. Wendel district of Saarland. The entrance is through the arched doorway at the base of the west tower; the nave lies to its right behind a low stone wall with metal railings. The tower clock faces are visible from the street.

The 1953 expansion that gave the church its cross-shaped plan was designed by Albert Dietz and B. Grothe of Saarbrücken; almost the whole building was demolished, leaving only the tower and three nave windows. The baroque altars were separated again afterwards. The organ, built in 1954 by Haerpfer & Erman of Boulay, stands in the 1782 Stumm case.
