St Michael's Church, Holthausen

The construction of the provost church of St. Peter and Andre began shortly after the foundation of Brilon, between 1220 and 1250. The three-bay late Romanesque hall church has a transept and a two-bay right choir, both built in the 14th century. The powerful early Gothic west tower was erected after the completion of the nave. Much of the interior was renovated between 1770 and 1776. The last major renovation of the exterior and roof took place between 1967 and 1970 under the direction of the architect H. Stiegemann.

The Nikolai Church was built between 1772 and 1782 on a former medieval church that had become too small. The church could be used for services from 1782 onwards, but the interior work continued until 1798. Although the church did not belong to the adjacent monastery and was not owned by the minorities, the Hessian Landgrave's ministry ordered the closure of the monastery and the church as part of the secularisation process on 11 October 1803. It was not until 1968 that the church became the property of the parish. Between 1976 and 1979, the church was completely restored.

The Protestant town church was built in 1855-56 by the master-builder F. A. Ritter after a design by the Berlin master builder Karl Friedrich Schinkel for the Preußische Normalkirche. The building is a four-axis hall in ashlar construction with a recessed apse. On the west gallery, there is a late romantic organ with a neo-Renaissance prospectus. It was built in 1902 by Eduard Vogt from Korbach.
