Facts and practical information

The Protestant St. John Baptist Church forms the center of the village of Brechten in the Eving district of Dortmund. Around 1250, the church was built as a three-nave, two-bay hall on an almost square ground plan with a rectangular choir. The west tower is probably older. Around 1500 the sacristy was built. During the restoration of the interior in 1960/1962, extensive paintings from the time when the church was built were uncovered and restored. The baptismal font dates from the 13th century, the pulpit and altar are from the 17th century.

The church is registered as a monument in the list of monuments of the city of Dortmund.
