St. Nikolaus (Grevenbrück)
The Catholic parish church of St. Nikolaus is a listed church building in Grevenbrück , a district of Lennestadt in the Olpe district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).
History and architecture
The five-bay , neo-Gothic hall church with a single-bay, just closing choir was built in 1886/87 under the direction of Gerhard August Fischer and Anton Sunder-Plassmann .
The tower faces west. The quarry stone walls are structured by stone , buttresses and tracery . The front wall of the choir is emphasized by a niche structure and a group of windows. In the nave, rib vaults rest over slender round pillars. The capitals and keystones are emphasized in color. A diamond star vault was drawn in in the choir. On the occasion of the centenary of their parish church, the people of Grevenbrück had five new bronze bells cast in March 1987. A complete interior renovation of the church was completed with the consecration of a new altar on the 4th Advent in 1998.
