Radwegekirche St. Antonius - Fintel

  • Church

The Fintel Church originated from a settlement of the Monks of St. Anthony in the 8th and 9th centuries

St. Antonius Church in Fintel was first mentioned in a document in 1426. It was built in the brick Neo-Gothic style. Inside the church is a treasure trove of carved wooden figures, which come from the remains of various altars in the medieval churches that preceded it.

In 2001, the church received a new organ from master organ builder Kristian Wegscheider of Dresden. It blends harmoniously with the church’s architectural style: the organ façade and the sound of the 16 stops reflect German Romantic organ building around 1870, as do the materials used.

On the website ofFintel Parishyou’ll find detailed historical information and photos.

As an “open-air church along the bike path,” the church is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. during the summer months. This gives visitors the opportunity to visit the church even outside of worship service times, for a brief moment of reflection and prayer.

You’re also welcome to attend the worship services or explore the diverse offerings of the parish, which includes over 1,800 parishioners.

We welcome every guest.
