St. Maria Immaculata is a parish church built as a votive church and is now a branch church of St. Martin in Raesfeld and is part of the Rhedebrugge peasantry belonging to Borken , North Rhine-Westphalia .

history

St. Maria Immaculata was built between 1886 and 1889 by Wilhelm Rincklake for the owner family of the estate next to the church after a family member had survived a long sea voyage. The church was expanded again around 1900.

Architecture and equipment

It is a neo-Gothic red brick building with a double tower facade and a short transept. A two-bay hall adjoins the double-tower facade, which is followed by a two-bay, three-bay hall with narrow aisles, which from the outside appears as a transept. The one-yoke choir ends with a 5/8 end . To the south of the choir a kind of patronage box on the ground floor, to the north is the sacristy. The roof over the transept is hipped. The windows have a sandstone tracery.

The equipment is roughly assigned to two sections. The pews are neo-Gothic, as is the organ prospect and stage. The Way of the Cross is modern, as are the choir stalls in the transept and the celebration altar. The high altar, obviously erected shortly before the council and rare enough that such a rather simple work is still standing, is a “typical 1950s work” with a low tabernacle made of silver (-coloured material?). The high altar is a free-standing block on a narrow base, sloping downwards on both sides. Behind it on the wall as an altarpiece there is an oil painting (St. Joseph?), Albeit a relatively small one. Both altars are made of greenish stone. Instead of side altars there are two modern mosaics at the junction between the nave and the transept, on the left a miraculous image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help , on the right a male saint. The vault is decorated with tendril painting.

The organ was built in 1978 by the organ builder Walcker with eleven stops on two manuals and a pedal in an existing organ case made by the organ builder Breil in 1896. The disposition was later expanded. The slider chests -instrument has 17 stops on two manuals and pedal. The playing and stop actions are mechanical.
