St. Georg (Ottenstein)
The Catholic parish church of St. Georg is a listed building in Ottenstein , a district of Ahaus in the Borken district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).
History and architecture
One chapel has been occupied since 1292. The parish has been a parish from 1365 , it was parish off from Vreden . The Burgraves of Solms exercised the right of patronage to fill the pastoral position until 1408 . The hall church from 1521 with a low recessed choir is a brick building with moderate ashlar structure . In accordance with a vow made by the noble Theodor von Ketteler, it was expanded into a three-bay hall church. In 1754, Pastor Johannes Spahn extended the church by one yoke to the west using stones from the castle ruins. The building, which is otherwise in danger of collapsing, was stabilized by impressive outer pillars. A yoke was added in the west around 1900 and at the same time the window tracery in the ship was renewed. The old portal with a Gothic inscription and the renovation date of 1754 has been reused. The old church tower had to be demolished in 1915. A copper-clad roof turret was placed on the western end of the roof in 1929. An extensive interior and exterior renovation was carried out in 2009.
