Reelkirchen - Parish Church

Reelkirchen - Parish Church
The Protestant parish church in Reelkirchen was dedicated to St. Liborius (of Le Mans) before the Rreformation- St. Liburius´ relics had been transferred from Le Mans to (near) Paderborn on order of Louis the Pious in 836, as the diocese (founded in 799) had no saint of its own.

A church may have existed here already within the 10th century. Todays church was probably erected in the first half of the 13th century. It got enlarged later. The massive tower got a a new spire in 1753.

The linden tree (tilia) to the right is believed to be 1000 years old.
