Evangelical village church Baerl
The Protestant village church is a medieval parish church in Duisburg district Baerl .
history
The Baerler Church, originally consecrated to St. Lucia , was mentioned as a parish church as early as 1262, when Heinrich von Rode owned the patronage right as a Klevian inheritance. In 1349 Count Johann von Kleve donated it to the Order of St. John in Walsum . In 1560 the Reformation was introduced at the church . In the first half of the 16th century a fire probably badly damaged the church. During the restoration work, in which the upper storey of the tower and the choir were re-designed in late Gothic style, the church was essentially given its present form.
The late Romanesque west tower in front of it, which is divided by pilaster strips and round arch friezes, as well as the two-bay, single-nave nave come from the second half of the 12th century. During the restoration work in the 16th century, the nave was reinforced with buttresses and a ribbed vault was drawn inside over Romanesque wall templates. At the beginning of the 17th century the tower was raised by a fourth floor. In 1956 a north aisle and a sacristy were added.
