Description

Prot. Church. So-called Ruin Church, charmingly situated on the walled churchyard. Five-sided closed 15th-century choir with chapel on the north side and an outbuilding dated in date anchors 1595 on the south side. Of the originally three-aisle nave, as a result of the destruction in 1574, only parts of the masonry remain, which like the masonry of the choir is enlivened by natural stone corner and edge blocks; in the north and south gable a segment-arch-shaped closed small door with Gothic moulding in tufa stone. Restoration 1955-1961, whereby the choir was extended by one bay to the west. Internally wooden barrel vault, carved 15th-century corbels. Pulpit second half 18th century, men's bench second half 17th century, two copper crowns 17th century; the north chapel, containing the burial vault of the lords of Nassau-Bergen, is closed off by an oak timber hekwork with Corinthian pilaster, mid-17th century. Brick wall, covered by saddle roof around the entire churchyard.
