St. Servatius (mountains)
St. Servatius in Berge is the parish church of the Catholic parish of Berge, which belongs to the Osnabrück-Nord deanery of the Osnabrück diocese .
Building history and description
The church was built in the second half of the 13th century as a hall with a two-bay nave and a recently closed choir bay in the Gothic style. Windows and doors are pointed arches , inside there is a ribbed vault .
The Romanesque west tower comes from a previous building and is slightly inclined to the nave. It consists of granite - boulders and fragments of sandstone and has a barrel vault equipped.
In 1901 the church was expanded in the neo-Gothic style by Alexander Behnes . North and south were aisles grown on the length of two yokes, on the east side, a choir with five-eighth circuit added, making the former choir bay eastern yoke forms of the now three-pile nave. The western yoke and the tower have been preserved in their original form.
Interior
The oldest piece in the church is the late Romanesque font made of Bentheim sandstone ( Bentheim type ) from the 13th century. Most of the furnishings are neo-Gothic from around 1900. Several figures were probably created by Heinrich Seling .
