Rüdiger BenninghausThe Protestant Kreuzkirche church in the village of Wiedenest (Bergneustadt municipality, Oberbergischer Kreis) and the associated rectory. The church probably dates back to the early 12th century and was a pilgrimage church, as it (allegedly) had a relic from the wood of Christ's cross, which was believed to have healing powers. A spring above the church, which has never dried up, attracted even more pilgrims.
