St. Josef (Kühlsen)
The Catholic Chapel of St. Josef is a listed church building in Kühlsen , a district of Bad Driburg in the Höxter district in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany).
History and architecture
The previous church was destroyed in a storm in 1766. Today's chapel is a three-sided, single-nave hall church with a barrel vault . There is a roof turret on the roof . It is above the portal with the year 1767 (year of construction) and the inscription "E V [= Ex voto] AD MAIOREM DEI GLORIAM. ANNO 1767 "and with the year" Renov. 1955 ”inscribed in the keystone of the portal arch. The roof structure moved further and further apart in 1955. There was a risk that the side walls would collapse. A ring anchor was placed around the roof beams and the chapel was enlarged by adding the organ stage. In 2006 new benches were installed, the stations of the cross and the altar restored. The floor was sanded and painted.
