The Catholic baroque church of St. Cyriak in the Freiburg district of Lehen , with its onion dome and parsonage, is the town's landmark. The former tithe barn is now a parish hall and houses the Cyriaksaal and the open youth club.
construction
The church consists of a hall-like nave with a narrow, polygonal choir and the three-storey, originally Gothic tower attached to it . A two-story sacristy extension with a pent roof is added to the north side of the choir . An ossuary ("bayn heislein"), which no longer exists today , has stood on the churchyard belonging to the church since 1686 .
The interior is kept simple and only divided by the windows. From the main entrance one has a view of the main and the two side altars. The main altar shows the Virgin Mary taken into heaven, surrounded by the Trinity. White roses fall on the people who look up in prayer. The right side altar shows a picture of the church patron St. Cyriak , who, floating in a cloud, holds his hand protectively over the church and houses. The left side altar shows the removal of Christ from the cross. The pulpit is from 1754 and its style is adapted to the older side altars. The font from 1728 is eight-sided and goblet-shaped. On the walls of the nave there are 14 pictures of the Stations of the Cross by Dionys Ganter (1798–1862).

history
The first mention of a church in the possession of the cathedral monastery of Basel dates back to 1139 , whereby it can be assumed that this document is a forgery from 1180. In 1215 the Lehen church was raised to a parish. The origins of the current building are in the 13th / 14th centuries. Century, where a smaller Gothic church stood in the same place. In the interior, a round vault stone with the coat of arms of the noble von Ankenreut family, which died out in 1528, reminds of the previous church.
At the instigation of Joseph Redhaber, who was pastor and dean in Lehen, the parish of Lehen decided in 1724 to replace the church with a new building. The new building was supported by the resolution of the Freiburg municipal council on September 9th. The foundation stone was laid in October 1724. Construction management was in the hands of the Freiburg master builder Gerhard Hauber . The late Gothic bell tower was included in the new building, the bell storey was rebuilt and the spire replaced with a baroque onion dome. Since the costs are almost 3000 guilders, the old equipment had to be used initially.
A new high altar was created in 1737 by several Freiburg artists. The carpenter Johannes M. Stehlin and the sculptor S. Blödt were involved. The tabernacle was created by the barrel painter FA Laubacher and the altar sheet by Joh. M. Saur. The organ from 1740 was very likely the work of the Freiburg organ builder Johann Georg Fischer . In 1754 the high altar was painted in color, the pulpit was rebuilt and the side altars were extended with blind wings . In 1760 new choir stalls and the statue of the "risen Christ" were added. The organ was replaced in 1808 by a new one by Nikolaus Schuble from Pfaffenweiler, the old organ was sold to the Catholic Church in Feldkirch. All that remains of the Schuble organ is the case into which a new work was built in 1965 by the organ building company Wilhelm Schwarz & Sohn . The church tower has been a trigonometric point since 1827 . The Freiburg painter Dionys Ganter created the fourteen panels of the Way of the Cross in 1842. In 1953 and 1967 the bells were renewed and expanded. An extensive church renovation took place in the years 1978–1980, during which all altars, figures and paintings in the interior were restored and new church pews were installed. The exterior was given the original color scheme according to an official building sketch from 1827. The Resurrection Christ on the baptismal font is Anton Xaver Hauser's councilor and guild master in Freiburg. In this church he also created the statue of Gallus and Fridolin on the high altar, as well as other sculptures and the carvings of the pulpit.
After the Thirty Years War , Betzenhausen also belonged to the parish of St. Cyriak. The branch church of St. Thomas was built there in 1767/68 , which became an independent parish church in 1938. As part of the restructuring, the pastoral care unit Freiburg Northwest was founded, with the parishes of St. Cyriak, Holy Family in the Mooswald district , to which St. Thomas was in turn assigned as a branch church, St. Albert in Bischofslinde , St. Martin in Hochdorf with the St. Agatha in the Hochdorf district of Benzhausen and St. Petrus Canisius in Landwasser .
