The Catholic parish church of St. Aegidius is a listed church building at Rheinstrasse 204 in Hersel , a district of Bornheim in the Rhein-Sieg district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).

history

The neo-Gothic church was built in 1899 according to a design by the architect Eduard Endler and inaugurated in 1901. The predecessor church was the Aegidius Hall , which is also a listed building ; it was built in 1744 as a baroque church. Three of the windows originally donated by Elector Clemens August for the baroque church are installed above the organ; the baroque pulpit was also taken over.

organ

The organ , built in 1905 by the organ workshop Johannes Klais from Bonn, was rearranged in 1953 and at the beginning of the 1970s; the overall sound was spoiled. Since the organ had a lot of original substance, it was faithfully dismantled by Klais in 2011.
