The Roman Catholic branch church St. Lucia is a church building in Hölzchen , a district of Arzfeld in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .

history

The branch church consecrated to St. Lucia of Syracuse belongs to a group of three medieval choir tower churches that were built in neighboring villages. The other places of worship are St. Valentin in Krautscheid and To the Three Virgins in Lauperath .

The village of Hölzchen was listed in a property register of the Imperial Abbey of St. Maximin in Trier at the beginning of the 13th century . A chapel there was mentioned in a deed of foundation from 1466 and in a visitation protocol from 1570. The construction of St. Lucia with the massive choir tower in the east took place in the 15th century at the latest, but is not definitely dated. The art historian Ernst Wackenroder calls the two rectangular double windows on the south side with central posts "coupled Romanesque round windows in a late Gothic view". The portal was originally located between the windows; it was probably moved to the west side in 1820.
