    At the foot of the church the Wittekinds source

      The church of Bergkirchen is quite old and its history goes back to the Saxon leader Widukind in connection with the so-called spring miracle of Bergkirchen, i.e. the Wittekind spring. According to legend, he had doubts about his faith up here on the mountain and when his horse uncovered the source, he found Christianity. Presumably this spring had been a Saxon spring sanctuary in pre-Christian times. Widukind was probably converted with the sword in the neck. But anyway, just imagine if Widukind was right here.

        Due to its idyllic location in the middle of the forest, our church is also often used as a wedding church. Ask us if you are interested in church services or using our rooms in the adjacent community center.
