Zessingen Church

On May 6, 1968, the foundation stone for the construction of a new church was laid in Zessingen, which should replace the old church from the turn of the century. On September 18, 1971, the three bells of this modern house of God, which should do justice to the innovations of the Second Vatican Council , were consecrated. On March 12, 1972, the church, which was designed by the architect Remy Isola and can accommodate up to 400 people, was finally consecrated by Bishop Jean Hengen .

The altar , the tabernacle , the lectern and the baptismal font are by Charles Kohl .
