Old Clement Church

The Catholic branch church Alte Clemenskirche is a listed church building in Hiltrup , a district of the independent city of Münster in North Rhine-Westphalia .

History and architecture

The church is considered an episcopal foundation. It was as a parish in 1233 the Thesaurarie of St. Ludgeri in Muenster incorporated. The church was profaned in 1913 and consecrated again in 1961 after a restoration .

The building is a small Romanesque vaulted hall with two bays . It was built in the middle of the 12th century. The originally retracted choir square with a semicircular apse was proven during excavations. A late Gothic choir with a 5/8 end was added in 1518. The Romanesque north wall was retained.

In the tower there is a flat-roofed room with a barrel-vaulted niche above the vaulted ground floor hall . Access to this room is via a brick staircase from the nave .

Since 1988 a stele on the old St. Clement's Church has been commemorating Nicolaus Steno , who was beatified by Pope John Paul II on October 23, 1988 at the instigation of Bishop Heinrich Theissing , the Apostolic Administrator of Schwerin .
