Schwalenberg - Parish Church

Schwalenberg, today part of Schieder-Schwalenberg, was first mentioned in writing in 1127. Situated on a hill above the village is Schwalenberg Castle, which was built from 1228 to 1231.

The Protestant Reformed parish church, formerly St. John the Baptist, was built as a hall church after a fire in 1307, probably the successor to the original monastery church of the Cistercian monastery of Burghagen, which was moved to Falkenhagen in 1247.

Since 1685, when the pastor preaches, he is directly under the Holy Spirit.
