St. Apollonius

St. Apollonius is a church in Wawern built in 1929 with a stone hall structure. The building has a roof turret and numerous stained glass windows that show religious figures and biblical scenes.

The building was created in 1929 according to architect Peter Marx's plans to replace an older, deteriorating chapel. The construction of the new church addressed the growing needs of the local community.

The altar inside shows depictions of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, a group of saints venerated in Catholic tradition. The decorations with figures and paintings make this place an important center for local religious worship and prayer.

The church is located in Wawern and belongs to the Lasel parish within the Schönecken-Waxweiler parish association. Visitors can experience the space during regular services and community events held throughout the year.

Although the name suggests dedication to St. Apollonius, the church is actually consecrated to St. Apollonia of Alexandria and the Fourteen Holy Helpers. This dedication runs counter to initial expectations and reveals the complexity of local religious traditions.
