St. Peter and Paul Church (Werth)

This beautiful church in Werth is slightly elevated on a hill

On the site where Werther Castle stood in the Middle Ages (1336: first mention of the castle chapel), the present Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul was built by HIilger Hertel the Elder (1831-1890). It was consecrated in 1886. What is unusual is that the church was built on the foundations of the former main building of the castle and was therefore oriented north-south rather than east-west. This is very rare for church buildings.More information here:

The Catholic Church of St. Peter and Paul in Werth is a single-nave, neo-Gothic brick building with a square facade tower, a high spire, and four polygonal corner turrets. This church was built in 1886 on a hill where Werth Castle once stood in the Middle Ages. Therefore, the church is clearly visible from afar.
