The church is entered under number 282 in the list of architectural monuments in Erkelenz .

history

A chapel in Tenholt was built in the 17th century. It is not known whether there was a chapel before. This baroque building fell into disrepair in the middle of the 19th century. The Cologne architect Heinrich Nagelschmidt was commissioned to build a new church. This building, built in neo-Gothic style , was completed in 1864. The hall church has a choir closed on three sides with a star vault. The ship has three yokes. In the 1950s the church became too small. A side aisle was then added to the south wall from 1957 to 1958. A sacristy was also added. The plans for this were provided by the Erkelenz architect Josef Viethen .

Tenholt was always a branch of the parish of Erkelenz. Since 2010 it belongs to the parish “St. Maria and Elisabeth Erkelenz ", this was abolished in 2015 and with the parish" St. Lambertus Erkelenz ”to the new parish“ Christkönig Erkelenz ”.

Furnishing

The windows in the old part of the church were created by Maria Katzgrau between 1946 and 1948, Hermann Gottfried the windows of the annex in 1959 and Will Völker from Lövenich in 1958 the window in the side aisle.
