Overview map of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve

A truly impressive church building! The early 18th-century Roman Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul is dedicated to the patronage of the Five Wounds. It was the monastery church of the former Dermbach Monastery. A look inside is worthwhile, as the church features a richly decorated sanctuary.

Beautiful large church with beautiful grounds

St. Peter and Paul The Franciscan monastery church, whose east façade faces the castle, was built from 1731 to 1735 as a late Baroque hall church onto the monastery buildings according to the plans of the court architect Andrea Gallasini.[3] The consecration took place on August 17, 1735. After secularization in 1803, the princely abbey was secularized and the Franciscans moved to the Frauenberg monastery in Fulda. One brother remained in Dermbach and looked after the Catholic parish, which continued to have a right of use. The church and the rectory have been church property again since 1996. The two-storey façade is structured by pilasters, the attic with a cornice is kept low. The triangular gable is accompanied by volutes on the sides, the roof tower with onion dome is slated. The rectangular portal with a gable is decorated with the coat of arms of the prince abbot Adolph von Deling. The keystone shows the year 1735. In a niche above there is a statue of St. Francis, the wall is divided by round-arched windows. In the row above there are three larger-than-life statues in niches, these are Jesus Christ and the saints Mary and Joseph. The cornice above the middle figure is cranked. The walls of the nave are divided by high round-arched windows and pilasters with cranked cornices, above which are blind eyelids.[3] The choir has a polygonal floor plan, it is divided by corner pilasters. The coat of arms of the prince abbot can be seen on the choir arch. The pillars in the hall are pilasters with ionic capitals. The barrel vault with belts is strongly profiled. The interior was improperly painted in 1898, probably in keeping with the taste of the time, at the same time the sandstone slabs of the floor were replaced with colorful tiles and small colored windows were installed. During the renovation from 1964 to 1972, the stained glass windows from 1898 and the ornamental painting were removed and the interior as well as the individual sculptures and the altars were repainted.[3] The colorful tiled floor was removed and replaced with gray limestone slabs laid in Roman bond.
