Marienkirche

St. Marien is a Roman Catholic church in the Wiedenbrück district of Rheda-Wiedenbrück. It bears the double patronage of St. Ursula and the Sorrowful Mother Mary. The church belongs to the parish of St. Aegidius, but was looked after by the Franciscans of the associated monastery until they left. The people of Wiedenbrück are also familiar with the church under the names Franciscan Church or Fathers' Church because of the attached Franciscan monastery. In contrast, the name St. Ursula is rarely used. The church was built in the late Gothic style as a small three-aisled hall church. At only around 19 × 13 m, it is relatively small and wider than it is long.
