The Protestant town church was built in Tecklenburg between 1562 and 1566, making it the only sacred building from the Reformation period in the Tecklenburg church district. Initially, the church was equipped with a small ridge turret, but it was not until between 1710 and 1718 that the baroque tower was built, which today is considered the landmark of the town of Tecklenburg.
