The sunken church of Nieder-Werbe: history, mystery and a silent monument in the lake
Since 2014, a reconstruction of the former church tower of Nieder-Werbe has served as a reminder of where the old church once stood before the construction of the reservoir, before it was demolished in 1912.

What makes the "Church in the Lake" so special is the quiet power with which it tells its story. Those who stand before it are moved to contemplation – about the passage of time and the power of human decision-making. At the same time, the monument is a popular subject for photographs, especially in the morning mist or at sunset, when the water envelops the tower in an almost mystical way.
