Guided Story
Take a look at the thick walls of the church hall. These date back to the 12th century, showcasing the Romanesque architecture. On the northern side, you can spot a small round-arched window, a remnant from that era. It tells the story of this place, once the village of Beesen. In the 15th century, the hall was expanded to the east, and in 1724 and 1725, it was remodeled in the Baroque style. The polygonal choir you see is another highlight, reflecting the architectural evolution of this church, recognized as a cultural heritage monument in Germany.
