        A very nice church.

        Today's church in Hunolstein was built between 1907 and 1909. The old chapel from the 17th and 18th centuries with a three-sided choir was then demolished. On August 18, 1908, the foundation stone was ceremoniously laid. The consecration of the new church was made by Bishop Michael Felix Korum on May 27, 1909.

        The cost of the construction amounted to 49,683.67 M. The financing was carried out as follows:
        Existing credit 2,200 M.
        Collected 27,000 M.
        Bond 19,000 M.


        Then there were the costs for the interior design. These amounted to 32,694.47 marks and were raised through church collections and additional donations.

        Taken from: Chronicle of the parish, Walholz-Hunolstein, by Rev. Josef Knob, 1947.
