Church in Apelern

The Evangelical Church in Apelern is a listed sacred building in Apelern .

history

In the early Middle Ages, Apelern was the seat of the archdeacon of the Minden diocese for the entire Bukkigau . The two-aisled, three-bay Gothic hall church goes back to a Romanesque building from 1162, which was rebuilt and expanded over the centuries. The bulk of the tower from the 13th century looks like a defensive tower . In its basic layout, it is one of the oldest parts of the church. The nave was extended in the Gothic period. Three Romanesque columns were placed in the central axis in such a way that a two-aisled interior was created, which is still preserved today.

The burial place of the von Münchhausen family on the tower is richly decorated with early baroque fittings, arcatures and coats of arms.

Furnishing

  • Wall paintings from the 14th century on the south and east walls of the choir
  • Pulpit around 1600
  • Baptismal font from 1579

  • The guide " Ways to Romanesque" highlights two cube capitals with palmette decorations typical of the mid-12th century, which can also be found on the relief stones of the choir arch.
