    The 12th-century Romanesque church is distinguished by its twin towers, which are visible from afar when walking through Fredelsloh. It is the preserved core of a larger monastery complex. The walls are made of Weser sandstone. The monastery existed until the Thirty Years' War. After that, the complex fell into disrepair – the church was even partially used as a mere granary. In the 19th century, it was rediscovered as a historic monument and, in the 20th century, was used again for worship as part of the Moringen parish.

    I have a special history with the medieval monastery church of St. Blasii and Marien, as it was this church that gave me one of my rare top marks in art class. I was never able to draw or paint, but the lecture and documentation given about the late Romanesque building really impressed the art teacher. Even today I like to look over at the twin towers of the imposing structure every time I drive through Fredelsloh.
