Lage Heiden - Parish Church

08 Feb 2010 157
Archeologists found out, that the first church here was probably built around 1000. The patrozinium of this first church was "Peter and Paul" and some historians connect it to the wellknown bishop Meinwerk from Paderborn. A weathered sculptered head found in the area could be - a warrior with a helmet or a bishop with a mitra. The building we see today was built 1380. A little gothic church with three naves. The twisted steeple (54m) was added in 1633, after the forunner burnt down during a thunderstorm.
