St. Nikolaus von Flüe, Wörsdorf, Catholic church in Wörsdorf, Germany
St. Nikolaus von Flüe in Wörsdorf is a modern Catholic church building with a rectangular floor plan and rubble stone walls, distinguished by its curved concrete roof. The interior centers on a shell limestone altar, from which the worship areas radiate outward.
The building was constructed in 1961 after World War II, when refugees from Silesia and East Prussia increased the Catholic population in Wörsdorf. This growth made a new place of worship necessary for the community.
The church is named after a Swiss saint and displays modern artworks inside, including a bronze cross and Stations of the Cross along the walls. These works shape the character of the worship space and reflect the artistic vision that defines the interior.
The church is regularly open for worship services and functions as a devotional space for the local Catholic community. Visitors should note that opening times may vary depending on scheduled events.
The building was originally planned as a highway chapel for travelers before becoming the first Catholic place of worship in Wörsdorf. This shift reflects how the needs of the growing local community took priority.
