Folkartshain Church Ruins

Folkartshain church ruins
The church ruins in Folkartshain (Kichenstump) near Lehrbach are the remains of a church from the time before Boniface. This church was built by Iro-Scottish monks who - unlike Boniface - preached a Christianity independent of the Pope.

The small church, probably built in the 13th or 14th century, was a rectangular building with a square chancel. The main room was 6.5 m wide and 9 m long and the chancel measured 4.4 × 4.7 m. The walls are about 1 m thick and made of hewn basalt and sandstone. Today only the foundation walls and parts of the western gable wall, the so-called church stump, are preserved.
Today, a service is held annually on Ascension Day, weather permitting, at the church stump, which is held jointly by the evangelical parishes from Kirtorf, Lehrbach, Maulbach, Neustadt and Stadtallendorf.

On a straight path through the forest for several kilometers, this ruin is a welcome change.
