Thülen is a small, formerly independent community that is now part of Brilon. The founding of Thülen goes back to a chapel that was built by the Corvey monastery. In 1096 the parish church of St. Dionysius was erected; this is only mentioned in a document in 1175. Between 1146 and 1183 it was made a parish. In the 13th century the tower was added in place of a previous tower. The building is a two-bay Romanesque pillar basilica. The chancel is rectangular with a semicircular apse. Around 1900, the tower was reinforced with a mighty wall.

The monastery was founded after the death of King Heinrich I (Henry the Fowler) in 936 by Siegfried of Merseburg, brother of Margrave Gero the Great, and his second wife Guthia. The first Benedictine monks were sent from Corvey (Westphalia), whose priory was Groningen. From 1247 the bishops of Halberstadt were bailiffs of the monastery, which was dissolved after the Reformation in 1550. The monastery church of St. Vitus was consecrated in 940 by Abbot Volkmar I from Corvey, but this church does not exist anymore. From the beginning to about the middle of the 12th century, the present church was rebuilt as a Romanesque three-nave flat-roofed basilica. After the abolition of the monastery, the church fell into disrepair. As a result, in the 16th century the southern aisle and in 1606 the two choir aisles were demolished. Between 1819 and 1831 the northern aisle was removed and the originally square choir was shortened. The sculptural work in this church is quite fantastic. Both in terms of quality and originality. The gallery was built around 1170, the parapet shows Jesus as the judge of the world surrounded by the apostles. The Last Judgement. The heads of the figures stand out from the wall in a fully three-dimensional manner. This is a "copy" made in 1902. The original is now in the Bode Museum in Berlin.

Due to the demolition of the aisles the building has become a single nave church . with a very dark apse.

Meinberg (since 1970 part of Horn-Bad Meinberg) was first mentioned in 978. Meinberg is then mentioned as a spa in 1676, when Andreas von Keil (called "Cunaeus") recommends the water of the Meinberg "health well" . In 1762 Johann Erhard Trampel (1737-1817) was commissioned by Count Simon August to investigate the springs. Trampel then was the driving force behind the development of the farming village into a spa. He probably knew near Pyrmont (today Bad Pyrmont), that already had developed into a place where the "jet-set" of the time met, as there was already a casino. In 1767, Meinberg was officially designated a "health resort" by a decree of the count; in that year. Hotels had to be built to accommodate the guests. The historic spa park was laid out in 1770. Trampel´s successors laid the foundations for the mud spa, which proved to be a success but it took until 1900 to count 1000 spa guests in one season for the first time. The increasing numbers of spa guests led to a building boom i the late 1950s and again in the 1970s and 1980s, when three large spa clinics were built. In 1992, the number of spa guests reached its highest level with almost 38,000. Since then, due to the structural reform in the health care system, the numbers declined sharply, and at the end of the 1990s, the three spa clinics gradually closed. In 822, during the reign of Louis the Pious, the Corvey monastery was founded in Höxter, under the name of "Nova Corbeia". It was founded initially as a provostry of Corbie (Somme), from where the first monks came. Monks from Corvey built the first church here, and in 978 Saxon noblemen placed their "Meierhof" under the protection of the monastery, what is the first mention of this place. The first was probably a wooden church. It got replaced by a fortified stone building in the 12th century. From this church the nave and the fortified tower are preserved. In 1541 the parish became Lutheran, about 60 years later, the Reformation took hold in Lippe. In 1767 the "spa business" started, so that the church became too small. In 1882 the building was extended by a single-nave annex to the south, and in 1928 to the north, resulting in the present cross shape.
