    Tips

    December 19, 2020

    Even if the document from 958, in which the brothers Walfrid and Humfrid bequeathed their chapel in Hohkeppel with some properties in the area to the Severinsstift in Cologne, is a new writing from the 12th century, archaeological investigations in the church and the surrounding area indicate Time before the 12th century and make Hohkeppel one of the oldest settlements in today's Lindlar community. Of the medieval church from the 12th century, only the west tower remained in 1835, while the classicistic nave was rebuilt on the old foundations. Only one church bells over 500 years old and two over 300 years old church bells are still preserved.

      The original church, a 12th-century three-aisled pillar basilica, was demolished in 1835 except for the west tower and replaced with a new church on the old foundations.

        A super beautiful half-timbered idyll in the Bergisch region and another great resting place opposite the "White Horse". In the hiking car park behind it there is even a portable toilet for the weary hiker. I think that's great. But please leave a donation for the entertainment.

          Since Hohkeppel is located on the Way of St. James, the church also has a pilgrim's stamp. This is located in the vestibule to the left of the entrance door and is freely accessible.
