St. Clemens Church in Weltwald

A beautiful little church with cemetery in the middle of the world forest. There is also much to see, discover and linger around the church's immediate surroundings

he current church is in the core (nave) Romanesque, but was remodeled in baroque style in the 18th century. The furnishings of the church also come from the Baroque period. On the high altar, the two figures flanking the altarpiece are made using the laminating technique. In the 17th century, lengths of fabric soaked in glue were shaped on a wooden board in such a way that they looked as if they had been carved after painting. [2] The building is surrounded on three sides by a walled cemetery with 28 wrought iron grave crosses from the 18th and 19th centuries.
