history
Today's Evangelical Lutheran Church was first mentioned in 1233. The origins of the parish church probably go back to the 9th century. Presumably, the Franks built a first wooden church in place of a Germanic cult site (see history of Rödinghausen ). The oldest parts of the originally Romanesque building date from the late 12th and 13th centuries. In the 16th century the church was rebuilt in the Gothic style. The transept arms were added at the end of the 19th century. Inside, a valuable wood- carved altar from 1520 and a crucifix from 1400 can be seen. Furthermore Twelve Apostles figures (also in 1520) and are Renaissance - pulpit from 1588 to mention. The church possesses a rare Bible in the Low German language, published in 1596 by Daniel Volderus.
The patronage has long had the family von dem Bussche of Good Waghorst whose family members are partially buried in the church.
