1000-year-old village church in Nümbrecht

The church's distinctive features include the massive Romanesque tower, the heavy early medieval pillars and transverse arches in the interior, the delicately articulated Gothic chancel, the flat vaults (late 17th century), and the Baroque spire. The principal furnishings (organ case, communion table, and pulpit) also date from the late 17th century, when a private dynasty ruled Homburg Castle and used the Nümbrecht parish church as a place of worship for the princely court. The series of images on the pulpit and the heads on the legs of the communion table are unusual, likely unique, works of art. The recently uncovered fresco in the chancel probably dates from around 1500 and depicts the Church Fathers Jerome and Ambrose, who gained importance as Bible translators and interpreters. The church's oldest bell dates from 1772.
In the 19th century, the church was also the preaching place of the important revivalist preacher and pastor Jakob Gerhard Engels, after whom a street and a large diaconal institution in Nümbrecht are named. The effects of his blessed work are still evident in the vibrant church community today.
Some finds from the excavations in the church are displayed in a glass case in the rear of the church.
