Building history and description
After the founding of the Engter parish in 1229 as a branch of St. Martin (Bramsche) , the church dedicated to the Evangelist Johannes was built in the 13th century . It was originally a late Romanesque hall church with two square nave yokes , a choir that was just closed and a west tower made of quarry stone .
The pointed arched ribbed vault in the nave shows the transition style between Romanesque and Gothic , the choir is probably equipped with an older groin vault . The windows in the tower are round-arched , in the nave they are bluntly pointed. There is a round arched portal in the north wall of the western yoke .
In 1821/1822 the church was extended to the north by a rectangular, transept-like extension to the eastern nave yoke. In 1913 a similar extension was made to the south, which means that the floor plan is now cross-shaped.
