Evangelical chapel in Sassenhausen

The Protestant Chapel is a listed baroque church building in Sassenhausen , a district of Bad Berleburg , in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district , in North Rhine-Westphalia . It was built in 1703/05 by the master carpenter Mannus Riedesel .

History and architecture

The building is a small half-timbered building with richly carved beams. It has a four-sided ending. The roof turret is slated. According to the inscription above the door, the chapel was built in 1703 by the carpenter Mannus Ritessel . This is also where the equipment comes from. However, after viewing files and documents, the year of construction 1705 comes into question. Two previous chapels are occupied. The first was mentioned in 1585 and replaced by another in 1590, which then fell into disrepair and demolished in the early 18th century. Today's chapel has a single nave , with an apse pointing to the east , a choir is not recognizable.

The building is an example of the school chapel common in Siegerland , where school and church were united under one roof. Part of the interior was separated by a wall and the resulting room served as a classroom. This former classroom is located under the rear gallery .
