The Church of Our Lady, also called Coudray Church after its builder.The parcel names Kapellenberg, Mönchsacker and Mönchsborn refer to former churches in the area around Rastenberg. There was a castle chapel on the Raspenburg. The Kilian's Church at the cemetery was used until 1537. The monastery church of St. Mary is said to have stood near the current church. After the Reformation, St. Mary's Church became the town church, which burned down in 1636 during the Thirty Years War. In 1657 a successor building was built, which in 1824 fell victim to a city fire.Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebfrauenkirche_(Rastenberg)p.s.
