The Catholic parish church of St. Pankratius is a listed church building in Reiste , a district of Eslohe in the Hochsauerlandkreis ( North Rhine-Westphalia ). The building in neo-Gothic style is located on Bundesstraße 55 between the Hennetalsperre and Eslohe. The community is part of the Esloher Land pastoral network in the Archdiocese of Paderborn .

History and architecture

The previous church stood a little further below its current location; it originated in the 12th century. An extension was added in 1756. It was demolished in 1835 because of the risk of collapse. Until 1852 a barn was used by the von Weichs family as an emergency church . Since the promises and contracts for financing were not kept by the state, these problems had to be solved through years of processes. There were high costs that had to be borne by the parish. The single-nave , neo-Gothic stone building was built from 1849 to 1852 according to plans by the architect Friedrich Heinrich Kronenberg , the foundation stone was laid on July 25, 1849. The mighty tower is characteristic of the town. Pastor Johannes Schulte from Reiste inaugurated the church on November 14, 1852. In the same year the organ building company Anton Fischer from Beckum began building the organ , which was erected and inaugurated in 1854. The instrument was restored in 1973. The Cologne sculptor Richard Moest made the high altar in 1881 and the two side altars in 1885 . Also in 1885, the Oelder sculptor C. Brockmann created the Pietà . The Paderborn auxiliary bishop Augustinus Gockel consecrated the building on September 7, 1890. The twelve windows could be replaced in 1913.

Repair of the church tower became necessary in 1928. From 1939 to 1942 Franz Schrudde from Bochum painted the interior, the Gothic tabernacle was placed in the choir wall . When renovation work was necessary , damage to the tower and choir that occurred during the Second World War was repaired, the roof covering was renewed and new windows were purchased. From 1962 to 1968, the entire building was extensively renovated in four construction phases, the sacristy was expanded and the choir room was redesigned. The last major renovation took place from 1992 to 1999. After the Second Vatican Council , the interior was kept rather simple from 1962 to 1965. In the 1990s, the restored high altar and side altars were put back in their previous places. One of the few older pieces of equipment is a wooden relief of the holy clan from 1520. It is probably attributable to the workshop of Petrus von Kolshusen . In later times it was given a modern look . Parts of the organ date from 1633.

Bells

New bells were purchased in 1899, three small bells had to be delivered for armament purposes in 1917, they were replaced by two new ones in 1923. In 1943 the bronze bells were drawn in again, and in 1947 four new bells were cast by the Heinrich Humpert bell foundry in Brilon.
