beelle kirche - eckelsheim - germany

The Beller church is a late Gothic church ruin located 300 m south of Eckelsheim "in an open field". It is the village's landmark. There is little concrete information about its history, but many assumptions and legends.

A recently rediscovered document from 1490 speaks of the "construction of a chapel and an altar in honor of Our Lady, called in den Bellen". Mass is to be said on Wednesdays and on all Marian feast days "for all eternity".
