The parish church of St. Magnus is a Catholic church in Everswinkel in the Warendorf district , North Rhine-Westphalia .

history

The church is older than the church dedicated to the patronage of the saint. Even if there are no more written sources for the foundation, research agrees that the community around 867 the relics of St. Magnus was given by the Münster bishop Liutbert .

The church tower was built around 1200 in the Romanesque style. The base of the tower is made of Laerer limestone. The wall trunk is built from local rubble stones. The top of the tower was built of bricks and is now plastered. The plaster, the pyramid helmet and the west portal were added in the 19th century. Openings can be seen up to the middle of the tower, which probably served as loopholes .

On February 28, 1489 the foundation stone for the late Gothic hall church was laid. The construction was completed in 1522. Since the church tower was retained in the west in this new building and houses already stood in the east, the church had to be built shorter than usual in the Gothic period .

In 1957 the church was completely renovated. The original ceiling painting from 1523/33 was discovered. The keystones of the vaults are decorated with the coats of arms of the local noble families. Above the choir is St. Magnus, the patron saint of the church, depicted with a bishop's miter .

Furnishing

View into the chancel

On the south side there is a boar on a human head and a lizard-like creature with wings and a bushy tail. At first it was assumed that there was an allusion to the place name, but the boar can also be seen in memory of him as a symbol of the Germanic fertility god.

In the north aisle is the group of figures Christ on the Mount of Olives , which Johann Wilhelm Gröninger made from Baumberger sandstone . The founder is Pastor Marx, from whose time the baroque furnishings of the church, as well as some wayside shrines and a wayside cross originate. Below the group of figures is the baptismal font from the 16th century, also made of Baumberger sandstone. In the south aisle there is a Pietà from 1460. On the front wall of the nave there is a baroque ray Madonna made of oak.

A neo-Gothic high altar from the 19th century rises in the choir, and to the left is the sacrament house from Bernhard Bunickmann's workshop . The Gothic tower spire rises above a hexagonal base into the vault. On the top sits a pelican , a symbol of Christ.

Everswinkel has the oldest hunger cloth in the diocese of Münster. It was made in 1614 and depicts the five secrets of the painful rosary .
