Church of Saint-Roch, Insenborn

The Church of Saint-Roch, in the historicist style, dates to 1862. The baroque furnishings produced in 1729 by the sculptor Jean-Georges Scholtus were removed in the 1970s in conjunction with the Liturgical Reform. From 2001 on, the artist Uli Lindow from Husum (Germany) strove with success to give the space a more welcoming aspect with the creation of new stained-glass windows, contemporary liturgical furniture in oak and a striking set of Stations of the Cross.
