Parish Church of St. Peter

The Catholic parish church of St. Peter is a listed church building in Boisheim , a district of Viersen , in the district of Viersen ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).

History and architecture

A capella in Buyschem is mentioned in a list of the donations to the Xanten archdeacon from the 13th century (written before 1290). A priest by the name of John was named in 1320. The abbot of St. Pantaleon in Cologne was the parish collator, and monks from St. Pantaleon were appointed pastors. A Romanesque hall church with the width of the Gothic central nave is proven to be the previous building.

The Gothic small three-nave pseudo - basilica with a one-bay choir with a 5/8 end was built in 1487 from brick with tuff . The west tower of the church in front of it was replaced in 1899 by a west transept with a steeply rising tower in the neo-Gothic style according to plans by C. Rüdell and R. Odenthal . In the interior, ribbed vaults rest on round pillars. The shape and material of the western extension is adapted to the old building. The building was badly damaged by bombs and shelling in 1945. The damage was repaired by 1954. The color version was renewed in 1981.
