St. Michael's Catholic Church (Kirchen)
Highlight • Religious Site
"After the 233-year simultaneum was dissolved by a contract in 1885, the Catholic parish of Kirchen was able to begin preparations for the construction of its own church. The laying of the foundation stone of the Catholic church "St. Michael" in Kirchen took place on September 13, 1887. The cost estimate of July 12, 1886 was estimated at 95,000 marks. Work on the building of the church began on May 5, 1887. The inauguration of the church took place on July 16, 1889. The bells in the tower rang for the first time on September 19, 1889.
During the Second World War the bells were dismantled but fortunately not melted down. However, it was not until 1949 that the bells could be brought back to Kirchen. At the same time the bells of the ecf. church churches, the cath. Municipalities of knowledge and Altenkirchen and those of the ecf. Municipalities of Freusburg and Almersbach brought with them. The news spread like wildfire at the time. In the years 1939/1940 the interior of the church was redesigned. In 1945 the church was damaged in a bomb attack. In 1969 the interior design was changed again."
