The pilgrimage church Mater Dolorosa in Driesch, a part of the local community Lutzerath in the district of Cochem-Zell ( Rhineland-Palatinate ), was built in the 15th century. The church is a protected cultural monument .
history
As early as 1400 there was a small chapel in Driesch in which a Madonna was venerated. In the second half of the 15th century, a pilgrimage church was built with donated funds , which was consecrated to the Mater Dolorosa (Mother of Sorrows) . In 1478 Pope Sixtus IV granted an indulgence for the pilgrims who came to Driesch. The miraculous image of Our Lady found its new place in a barred niche on the south wall of the choir .
architecture
The two-aisled hall church with an octagonal central support was built as a late Gothic building between 1478 and 1496. A keystone in the choir bears the year 1478. There are a total of fourteen keystones with the donor's coat of arms. B. the coat of arms of Archbishop Johann II. Von Baden (1456–1503) and the house of Ulmen.
The top of the tower and the nave roof were destroyed in a fire in 1687 caused by a lightning strike and restored in 1691. The west portal was built in 1868. Extensive renovation work was carried out in 1971/72.
Furnishing
The church received a bell in 1496 that is still there today. The former five altars were dedicated to the Holy Cross, Our Lady of Sorrows, to St. Nicholas , St. Sebastian , St. Rochus (later St. Joseph ) and St. Consecrated to Ottilie .
organ
In 1751 an organ was built by organ builder Theodor Claus from Cochem. In 1985 it turned out that the organ had pipes from the workshop of Balthasar König ( Münstereifel ).
