St. Fabian and Sebastian (Darup)
The Catholic parish church of St. Fabian and Sebastian in Darup , a district of the municipality of Nottuln in the Coesfeld district , is a late Gothic sandstone building, which is divided into a main nave and a north aisle separated by round pillars as well as a choir with a fore yoke.
building
The undivided west tower is essentially Romanesque . Extensive repairs were carried out in the 17th century, which can be proven from the dates in the church building (1667, 1674 and 1695). The interior of the church was redesigned from 1861 to 1869 under pastor Heinrich Stöffing. The Gothic stepped gable and the portal were renewed in the 20th century.
A side chapel and a sacristy were added to the north-east in 1952 . The windows are partly decorated with early neo-Gothic stained glass . Victor von der Forst from Münster created three figural windows (Resurrection, Adoration of the Shepherds and Kings, Whitsun miracle) in the choir in 1868, as well as ornamental grisaille with colored accents in the nave. Parts of the previous glazing have been preserved.
Interior
The most important piece of equipment is an important testimony to early panel painting in Westphalia : the so-called Darup Altar . It is the middle panel of a winged retable , made around 1420 or 1430. The side wings are no longer preserved.
The late Baroque pulpit from 1785 has been preserved, on which depictions of the four evangelists and on the cover of the parish patron - St. Sebastian - pierced by arrows can be seen. The elegant communion benches and a confessional surround in the side aisle have also been preserved from the baroque furnishings .
Also noteworthy is the neo-Gothic organ , which was created by Joseph Laudenbach ( Dülmen ) in 1861 and expanded by Friedrich Fleiter ( Münster ) around 1890 . It is still preserved today with its original mechanism and thus represents a rare example of Westphalian organ building from the Romantic era.
A double Madonna , which was made at the beginning of the 16th century, hangs down from the arch of the main nave . The expressive stone Vesper picture in the side aisle was probably made around 1750.
In the immediate vicinity, on the front wall of the aisle, hangs a large wooden crucifix, also from the 18th century . After losses in the Second World War, there are three bells from 1946 in the tower of the parish church and a particularly beautiful Marienbell, which was cast by Wolter Westerhues in 1529 . The bell sounds in es'-ges'-as'-b '.
History of the parish
The building is the nucleus of the place Darup (Westphalia). It was probably founded as a separate church on the main Darup courtyard. The parish was first mentioned in 1188. In 1380, the parish of St. Agatha zu Rorup was divided as a daughter church from parts of the large parish of Darup . In the 20th century, the parish of Darup lost large parts to the neighboring parishes of Rorup, Buldern and Coesfeld , including the Maria Hamicolt Benedictine convent. In 2009 St. Fabian and Sebastian went up in the Nottulner parish of St. Martin.
