St. Johannes Nepomuk Kirche - Langeland-Erpentrup

Church
St. Johannes Nepomuk Church in Bad Driburg is a hidden gem in the middle of the green countryside of North Rhine-Westphalia. With its simple but impressive architecture, it radiates peace and contemplation. The church is not only a place of faith, but also invites you on a journey into history. Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it offers a meditative break and allows visitors to take a deep breath. It is ideal for anyone looking for peace and quiet and who is enthusiastic about cultural and historical sites. A visit here is a short but wonderful escape into a world of silence and tranquillity.

Where church and school were once under one roof

In the past, Erpentrup and Langeland belonged to the parish of Sandebeck. Erpentrup already had its own chapel in 1732, which was demolished in 1821. It was replaced by a new building which combined the chapel and school. This was very progressive, as it saved the children the long journey to school in Sandebeck. This building was also demolished in 1982 and today Erpentrup and Langeland share a modern church, St. Johannes Nepomuk Church, which was built between 1976 and 1978.
