St. Brigida Parish Church (Blumenthal)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Catholic parish church of St. Brigida is a listed church building in Blumenthal, a district of the municipality of Hellenthal in the Euskirchen district (North Rhine-Westphalia).
The two-aisled, plastered quarry stone building with a recessed chancel with a 5/8 end is located away from the village, directly on the Olef River. The low west tower is set forward under a bent slate pyramid. The building was built as a chapel in 1512. The originally single-nave structure was expanded in 1967 to include a north aisle. The north wall of the Gothic nave was excavated to form pointed arches. Cross-ribbed vaults were incorporated into the nave, and reticulated vaults into the chancel. Remains of the Rococo altars were reused on the organ parapet. The late Gothic sacrament niche is noteworthy. (Wikipedia)

St. Nicholas Parish Church, Gemünd

Highlight • Religious Site

The Roman Catholic parish church of Gemünd is dedicated to St. Consecrated to Nicholas of Myra.
A chapel was built in the 15th century. This was expanded in 1728 to a three-stone hall church made of quarry stone with a roof rider. The chapel from the 15th century has served as a choir ever since. With the elevation to the parish in 1802, the chapel was also elevated to the parish church. In 1847 the church received a porch in the west. At this point, however, it was already clear that the church would no longer be sufficient for worshipers in the long run. In 1850 a church building association was founded with the aim of building a new church. Soon afterwards the Aachen government building councilor Theodor August Stein gave the parish blueprints for a new church. After some changes and adjustments to the plans, the foundation stone of today's parish church was laid on May 16, 1859. By 1862 the church was completed except for the tower. The archbishop of Cologne Paulus Melchers carried out the consecration on September 18, 1866. The bell tower could not be completed until 1888.
