Raumland was the original parish of the area we know today as Wittgenstein. It was built between 1240 and 1260, and the mighty masonry and the originally small windows in the vestibule suggest that the church was also used for defense and protection.
On the outside, the compactness of the late Romanesque masonry is striking. In 1956, a ridge turret was added in place of a small bell tower. The south wall has been supported by a massive pillar since 1730.
Inside, the mighty oak plank door between the porch and the church interior, which dates from the 17th or 18th century, is particularly worth seeing.
It is also striking that the pillars in the nave lean outwards. In 1985, wall paintings dating from around the middle of the 15th century were uncovered. They depict the Stations of the Cross.
The communion table from the 17th century is the oldest surviving piece of the church inventory.
The epitaphs are unusual for Wittgenstein: the largest is on the north side.
The three bells date from the second half of the 14th century.
Today, the parish of Raumland also includes the communities of Berghausen, Dotzlar, Hemschlar, Rinthe, Sassenhausen and Weidenhausen.
