Castle Church of Schleiden

Description

The Castle Church of Schleiden, a late-gothic three-nave hall-church with an interesting net-and-star vault, was built between 1516 and 1525 according to the plans of Johann Vianden. This Castle Church is the Catholic parish church today. On the end walls of the side aisles are precious glass paintings from 1535, a valuable König organ (constructed around 1770) and a sarcophagus made of black marble. Equally remarkable are the late-gothic glass windows, the vault paintings and the Flemish altar wing.
