Lage Heiden - Parish Church

Lage Heiden - Parish Church
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.
