history
The oldest part of the parish church of St. Lambertus and St. Laurentius in Langenberg is the Romanesque church tower , which was built around 1200. The current central nave and the tower spire were built in the late Gothic style between 1478 and 1510. At the end of the 19th century the church building was too small for the community and the neo-Gothic aisles were added in 1892/94 . In 2006 the tower was protected against the weathering that had already progressed with slurry plaster.
Originally the church and parish were under the patronage of St. Laurentius . In the course of time, however, a veneration of St. Lambertus . When the Reckenberg office passed from the Diocese of Osnabrück to the Archdiocese of Paderborn in 1821 , St. Lambertus was established as the first church patron.
