St. Anna

The Catholic parish church of St. Anna is a listed church building in Stahle , a town in the district town of Höxter in North Rhine-Westphalia .

History and architecture

The parish is evidenced by the uninterrupted succession of pastors since 1663. Until 1669 the community belonged to Albaxen . The original church from 1697 was a simple hall building that was rebuilt in 1910. This was demolished in 1963, whereby the roof turret and a baroque sandstone portal were preserved. The church tower from 1732 has also been preserved.
