Properties:
The Protestant church Sst. Simon and Judas Thaddäus Bad Sassendorf is a three-nave, two-bay hall church with a straight closed choir made of local green sandstone. It is the successor to a baptistery built in 1313 and was probably built in the Gothic style from 1420 to around 1500 and completes the series of medieval church buildings in the Soest Börde.
The interior of the church appears lighter and more open than St. Pantaleon in Lohne due to its round pillars, tracery windows and cross vaults, which were only added in 1905. The pews with closed rows of benches, the pulpit and the altar (original form) date from the Baroque period. The apostle statues in the choir are from the church's origins, while the stone baptismal font (excavated in 1937) probably belonged to the previous chapel.
Services: every Sunday at 10.30 am.
