Heselbach - St. Peter

Not much is known about St. Peter, just 2kms north of the Reichenbach Monastery ("Kloster Reichenbach"). Heselbach was a property of the priory and the small church, with this elaborate poartal, was probably built by the monks end of the 12th century.

In the center of the lintel, between the symbols of the four evangelists, the Lamb of God ("Agnus Dei").

The tympan depicts God, crowned and holding a cross as a scept in his left hand, while his right is in a blessing gesture. Below this hand is a person rising from the ground. Probably the Last Judgement.
