‘Our Lady’s Church’ - which dates back to the 12th century. It was severely damaged during World War II. Once a fortified church with a cemetery surrounded by a wall, it had served Sommerhausen’s inhabitants as a place of refuge and defence before the town was fortified. The preserved steeple is decorated with a late Gothic Madonna. www.sommerhausen.de/history.html
