St. Cäcilia (Westönnen)
The Catholic parish church of St. Cäcilia is a listed church building at Westönner Kirchstrasse 26, in Westönnen , a district of Werl in the Soest district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).
History and architecture
The previous church was a Romanesque building, this was no longer sufficient for the growing community and the state of construction was also poor. After the organ stage collapsed at Easter 1818, the church was demolished.
The orientation of the building is not, as usual, in the traditional east-west direction, but in a north-south axis, with the tower in front of the south gable. The north-facing basilica made of green sandstone with a choir just closed on the outside was built in 1821. The builder was the Prussian building inspector Ernst Vincenz Plaßmann. The west tower is retracted, on the roof sits a roof turret . The tower helmet was put on in 1877/78. The interior, especially the chancel, was redesigned from 1965 to 1969. A new blanket was put in place. The walls of the nave are divided by arched group windows between flat templates. The side aisles are equipped with lunette windows.
