The Catholic parish church of St. Martinus is a listed church building in Hörste , a district of Lippstadt in the Soest district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).

History and architecture

The building is one of the oldest churches in the Diocese of Paderborn , it was first mentioned in 1194. The building was built as a small vaulted basilica made of rubble stone . The compact nave of two bays has no transept and a straight, closed choir with a cross-shaped roof. In 1889 the church was expanded to include extensions. The tower is square and looks massive.

Until 1974 the community was part of the Paderborn Dean's Office as a border vicariate. The communal reorganization also changed the boundaries of the church deanery . Today the community belongs to the deanery Lippstadt-Rüthen .
