St.-Markus-Kirche

St.-Markus-Kirche is a church building in Bredeney with a striking tower positioned at the eastern side of Bredeneyer Cross. The interior accommodates around 400 visitors and features an organ with 33 registers used for concerts and services.

The building was constructed in 1880 and expanded in 1932, replacing an original chapel from the 11th century that once stood on this location. That earlier chapel served the community for over 700 years before being replaced.

The church serves as a gathering place for the neighborhood, where people come together for worship and community events. Its interior displays works of art that reflect the spiritual life of those who visit.

The building sits at the eastern side of Bredeneyer Cross and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors can explore the church building at their own pace and may encounter the organ during services or musical performances.

A memorial stone with a bronze plaque has marked the location of the original medieval chapel since 1962. This stone connects visitors directly to the centuries-old religious history of the site.
