history

A chapel in Dürboslar was first mentioned in the Liber valoris from around 1300. At that time the place still belonged to the parish Aldenhoven. In the 16th century, Dürboslar was finally detached from Aldenhoven and became an independent parish .

From the church mentioned around 1300, the lower floors of the bell tower from the 12th-13th centuries remained until the old church was demolished in 1904 . Century preserved. This was followed by a three-bay nave built in the 1490s in the Gothic style , which was extended to the east by two bays in the Baroque style at the end of the 18th century . At the same time a sacristy was added . In the 19th century, a five-sided closed vestibule was added in front of the main portal in the basement of the tower. The nave was spanned by a wooden ceiling, only in the tower hall there was a ribbed vault . Of the furnishings of the old church, the baroque high altar and the associated pulpit should be mentioned. Both were works of the 18th century. Due to the growing population of Dürboslar, the old church became too small and it was decided to build a new parish church on the site. The old church was demolished in 1904.

Between 1904 and 1906, today's neo-Gothic church was finally built. During the Second World War , the church was supposed to be blown up, but this never happened.
