St. Vitus Church
Friesoythe-Altenoythe, DE
The St.-Vitus-Kirche (Saint Vitus church) was built at the beginning of the 9th century. Together with the abbey of Visbek, the church was donated to the benedict abbey of Corvey an der Weser (Corvey at the Weser) in 855. The tower and the Romanesque features date from the 12th century. A century later, the walls were enhanced with bricks so that the roof could be vaulted. A special Gothic choir was added in 1479.
