Kirche St. Peter in Hoisten

was already mentioned in 1300

This church of St. Peter in Hoisten stands on a small hill or Kirchberg and dominates the otherwise flat landscape in the area, - inside and outside an architectural gem!

The name Hoisten is said to come from the name Hochstaden and was the seat of the Hoistadensis dynasty. In the 13th century the name Hovesteden was mentioned, which means something like farmstead. At that time the place belonged to Herr vom Helpenstein. In the 14th century Hoisten was owned by the Lords of Blankenheim and in 1415 came to the Dukes of Jülich and thus formed an enclave in Kurköln. The St. Peter Church was mentioned as early as 1300.

Very narrow stairs leading up to the church. Depending on the handlebars, you can't even push a bike there.

At that time the place belonged to the Lords of Helpenstein.

Be careful when it's raining or wet... 👌Stairs are very slippery... Nice object... I'll be back no question 👌

I think the construction of the church is great, you can see it from afar.
