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

History and architecture

The church was formerly St. Consecrated to Anna . It is the oldest preserved building in the city. In the second half of the 13th century, a three-bay nave with a polygonal choir was added to the originally two-bay hall church from the early 13th century with a just closed choir bay and a tower . The count's burial place with half-timbered upper storey for the church school was added to the east of the north aisle in 1667. The plastered quarry stone building was probably later secured on the south side with massive support pillars. The portals of both ships are connected by windows. The tower with a bent helmet ending in a small hood is probably from the 16th century. Between the naves, which are slightly offset from one another, there are wide pointed arches in the form of undivided wall openings. In the northern nave, domed ridge vaults rest over rectangular pillars and templates. The east yoke was later arched again. In the southern nave, dome-shaped ridge vaults with crowns were drawn in via semicircular wall templates between pointed belt arches. In the middle of the eastern vaults there are stucco reliefs with the designation 1704. The north side of the choir opens in a pointed arch to the patron's box . The northern nave is fully equipped with baroque galleries .
