The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Dionysius is a listed church building on the church square in Havixbeck in the Coesfeld district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ). The Hohenholte collegiate church also belongs to the parish of Havixbeck .
History and architecture
The church was founded before 1040 as an episcopal church , the parish was first mentioned in 1137.
The high-Gothic, three-bay hall church with a choir from Vorjoch and 5/8 end was built from Baumberger sand-lime brick . The sacristy from the beginning of the 15th century is to the north, the west tower from the 12th century made of sandstone with a Gothic top floor is crowned by a spire from 1690. The nave was built in the first half of the 14th century. The choir was probably added a little later using older wall pieces. From 1968 to 1971 the church was completely renovated.
The nave and the choir are divided by buttresses and tracery windows. In the undivided tower, a wall staircase leads to the top, groin vaults have been drawn in on the first and second floors . In the nave, ribbed vaults rest on round pillars with four services and smooth capitals . Most of the magnificent keystones are still original. Among other things, they show the coronation of Mary , St. Dionysius , a bishop and the Lamb of God . The choir is wider than the central nave. The paintings in the vaults are badly damaged; they were uncovered in 1971. In the sacristy there is a vault painting made of flowers and tendrils.
