St. Georg (Hohenholte)
The collegiate church of St. Georg in Hohenholte is today's branch church of St. Dionysius Havixbeck , until the merger of the parish church of Hohenholte, the municipality of Havixbeck , the district of Coesfeld , North Rhine-Westphalia and, until the secularization at the beginning of the 19th century, the collegiate church of the Freiweltlich-aristocratic women's monastery Hohenholte . But it is not the first church at this point.
Today's church is a baroque, vaulted hall with mainly neo-Romanesque furnishings (benches, pulpit, high altar ). The exterior is plastered and painted white. The windows are arched. The western part integrates the remains of the monastery buildings, which have otherwise been demolished. On it is the roof turret of the towerless church. In 1607 the canon Benedikta Droste zu Hülshoff was buried at the church . The first organ was donated by Heinrich Johann I. Droste zu Hülshoff (1677–1739), and from 1809 the poet and composer Annette von Droste-Hülshoff took organ lessons from the Hohenholter organist Joseph W. Kettler . Today's organ dates from the days of the monastery.
The church has a hunger cloth in the Westphalian tradition from the middle of the 20th century. It shows the crucifixion with a quote from the improperia ("... Athanatos ...").
