St. Georg and Cornelius (Nusbaum-Freilingen)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. George and Cornelius

St. Georg and Cornelius is a Roman Catholic branch church in Freilingen in the local parish Nusbaum in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .

history

The oldest part of the church is the medieval choir tower in the east, which is not definitely dated. The Dehio manual points the construction to the Romanesque period , the art historian Ernst Wackenroder does not mention a date. It is possible that the tower was not built until the late Gothic period . A possible older use as a defense tower is also being discussed . If it was built in the Gothic period, the coupled acoustic arcades on the upper floor would be post-Romanesque. The interior of the sanctuary in the basement is vaulted with a groin.

A chapel in Freilingen was mentioned for the first time in a visitation protocol of the parish of Nusbaum in 1570. The nave was possibly built in the 18th century. A major renovation took place in the 1980s.
