St. Mary's Assumption (Bruchhausen)
The Catholic parish church St. Mariä Himmelfahrt is a listed church building on Brokhusenstraße in Bruchhausen , a village in Höxter in the district of Höxter ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).
History and architecture
The wall pillar hall with retracted choir was built in 1699 as a south-facing hall church with arched windows on the building site of the lord of the castle. The chapel was consecrated in March 1702 by Abbot Florentinus van der Velde von Corvey . Thus the joint use of the Evangelical Church came to an end. The chapel was elevated to a parish church in 1933 and the wall pillar hall was added to the west.
