Sacred gem from the 9th century.
"The Drüggelter Chapel is a 12-sided round building with a diameter of around 12 m. The entrance to the south has a small porch and to the east a small choir is built between two side sections of the 12-sided corner. Inside, 12 small columns and 4 larger columns in the middle support the cross vault of the roof. Between the 4 columns, the middle of the chapel is kept free with a diameter of around 2 m. The capitals of the 12 columns are richly decorated with geometric patterns and archaic Romanesque animal motifs.
In terms of architectural history, according to Dieter Kestermann (see below), the Romanesque chapel was probably built around 800 AD, since in Westphalia the round slit windows were usually built in churches until around 800 AD and the cross vault was not built until 800 AD at the earliest." reiner-padligur.de/info_drueggelter_Kapelle.htm
