Johanneskirche (hens)
The Protestant Johanneskirche is a listed church building in Hennen , a district of Iserlohn in the Brandenburg district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).
History and architecture
The building was built around 1200 as a small cross-shaped hall with a choir . The west tower was later built up. The masonry is made with green sandstone interspersed green glauconite. The nave is divided into two bays. The transept is covered with groin vaults. The seven-part choir apse , equipped with three windows, is connected to the transept by a narrow, barrel-vaulted forechoir yoke. The mighty structure largely manages without decorative shapes. Heavily weathered tympanum reliefs have been preserved over the partially walled-up portals on the south side. The main apse is seven-sided on the outside and semicircular on the inside, the walls are divided by three windows. The apse is connected to the crossing by a wide belt arch. The interior is enlivened by paintings. The ornamental painting in the vaults is from the early 13th century. It was discovered in 1875 and uncovered and restored in 1954.
