Evangelical Church Rönsahl

Originally the church was dedicated to St. Servatius. The massive-looking late Romanesque west tower was preserved as a remnant of a small Westphalian basilica that burned down in 1766. The simple one-nave rectangular building was built in 1768 (name). Since 1950 there has been a memorial for the victims of the two world wars in the tower, the glass window shows the Archangel Michael fighting against the forces of darkness. The tower room in the accessible bell tower has housed historical furnishings since 2005. The church is a rectangular three-axis building in the Bergisch Baroque style. Above the side portal it is marked with 1768; the barrel vault is made of wood. During the renovation work in 2004, the glass windows on the east side, which had been covered for 50 years, were uncovered, and fragments of historical paintings were uncovered on the west wall.

Some old houses. Nice.
