St. Peter (Geseke)
The Catholic parish church of St. Peter is a listed church building in Geseke in the Soest district in North Rhine-Westphalia .
History and architecture
The town and market church was incorporated into the Geseke monastery by Archbishop Anno II of Cologne . The church was originally a flat-roofed, cross-shaped pillar basilica from the early twelfth century. The surrounding walls of the transept , originally with east apses , have been preserved. The crossing arches in the north and south as well as the main pillars of the central nave are also preserved . In the middle of the 13th century the building was converted into a stepped hall and a new west tower was built at the same time. In the 14th century, the aisles were rebuilt again, from this time the large tracery windows , the high gables above each yoke , and the buttresses. The choir and sacristy were built in 1469.
The current building is a Gothic hall church with three bays. The two-bay choir with a 3/8 end was added later. The sacristy is to the south. Between the late Romanesque west tower and the parish hall is a vaulted intermediate building as wide as the central nave. This was expanded in 1907 with transept-like additions.
