Building history

The previous church from the 11th century was a little away on Margarethenplatz. Like today's, it formed the center of the village. It was canceled in 1859. The quarry stones were reused, they were used for the construction of the two peasant chapels on the Schürenbrink and the Dromberg. The previous chapels had become dilapidated.

After the old church was found to be in disrepair, the administrative district of Münster initially permitted a house collection on December 2, 1854. There was already talk of a new building instead of a renovation. The district administrator of the Warendorf district spoke out against the permit on January 24, 1855, as he considered repairs to be sufficient. However, he saw that the church was too small for the 1637 Catholics. Thereupon the collection was finally rejected. The community, considered to be wealthy, was instead asked to raise a fund with 12,000 thalers. The neighboring churches should be visited until the church is renewed. In 1855 the municipality made the fund available by raising capital. Despite reservations by the district administrator, who did not wish to raise capital, a collection was approved by the chief president of the Münster administrative district. It brought in 4752 thalers 22 Sgr. 9 Pfg. In the years 1860–1861 Emil von Manger built the new building. After its completion, the old church on Margarethenplatz was demolished.

Building description

The neo-Gothic three-nave hall church was built in bricks on a natural stone base. It is 37.50 m long, 17.50 m wide and the tower has a total height of 51.97 m. The nave extends over four bays, to which the choir adjoins via two lower bays. To the north of the choir is the sacristy. A gallery with separate access was built for the family members of the Vornholz house, and a crypt was added for the family, in which the coffins from the old church were reburied and afterwards deceased members of the family found their final resting place. The coffins are housed in locked niches.
