The Protestant church is a listed church building in Bad Berleburg in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).

History and architecture

The previous church stood on Goetheplatz; it was demolished from 1837 to 1839. Today's church stands at Schlossstrasse 18, separated from the street and raised.

The four- bay gallery basilica in round arch style and with a choir in the 5/8 end was built from 1857 to 1859 according to plans by Friedrich Wilhelm Buchholz, which were revised by Friedrich August Stüler at the instigation of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV . The quarry stone building was built from hammer-right Grauwacke and structured with ashlar .

The entrance porches are made of red sandstone and terracotta . There is a two-storey extension to the choir with the tower. The long sides are structured by double arched windows on the upper facade. The large aisle windows were made in simple tracery. A gallery was built around the flat-roofed nave . The wide arcade pillars and the architectural structures were made from red sandstone.

In the extension above the sacristy is the patron's box with a three-arched opening to the vaulted choir. A coat of arms of the Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg family was attached above it. The pulpit, the stalls and the balustrades come from the time the church was built. The tower faces south.
