    The old St. Alexander Church is a Roman Catholic church building in the municipality of Wallenhorst in the district of Osnabrück, Lower Saxony. The church has Carolingian origins. Its history is linked to the legend De miraculis sancti Alexandri and a miraculous healing during the Translatio of the relics of the martyr Alexander of Rome († 165) from Rome to Wildeshausen. The church was a station on the Baltic-Westphalian Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela.[1] The church tower's spire bears a hen instead of a weather vane, which is common in churches.

    The Old Alexander Church is one of the oldest churches in the Diocese of Osnabrück. Nobody knows exactly how old it really is, but there are indications that it already existed around 772. This date is on the golden hen that adorns the church spire.

    Very nice place behind the old Wallenhorster church for a little break. And drive over the tow troop Kirchweg to the church. Very nice for taking pictures.
