St. Mariä Visitation is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage church to Marialinden ( Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis ) in North Rhine-Westphalia .

history

The builders of the church around 1516 are the Lords of Wylich zu Grossenbernsau , who also had the patronage of the church. They had an older saint's house replaced with the church. The three-aisled Gothic hall church has three bays with an adjoining long choir with a 5/8 end . In 1676 Marialinden became a branch church of Olpe , later it was placed under Overath . In 1857 it was finally raised to the status of an independent parish church.

In 1897/1898, according to plans by the Cologne architect Theodor Kremer, the Gothic nave was extended by a yoke and a neo-Gothic two - tower facade was added to the west. The construction costs of 36,000 marks were raised through a collection in the community and with the support of the Cologne cathedral capitular Ferdinand Stiefelhagen , who came from Marialinden . The painting was carried out in 1957 after late Gothic remains in the eastern central nave yoke.
