A simple little Protestant church which is one of the stamp stations, probably the only one in Schmedehausen, on the Westphalian Way of St. James.

A beautiful little church in Schmedehausen. Pilgrims can get a stamp in their pilgrim's pass and, upon request, stay overnight in the rectory. There is a shelter behind the church where you can take a break.

Since 1860, churchgoers no longer have to take the two and a half hour long church path to Greven. There is also a stamping point for the Westphalian Way of St. James.
