H. Cunibertuskerk

The history of the church in Wahlwiller goes back at least to the eleventh or twelfth century. But it is likely that there has been something of a church building much earlier.

The choice of the patron saint, Saint Cunibertus (590-663), who was bishop of Cologne for 40 years, suggests that a predecessor of the current church may have stood there all his time. The history of the church became 'world history' when, immediately after the war, the church was completely painted by Aad de Haas on the intercession of father drs. GL Mathot from Wittem.

Conservative critics caused such a riot that the Stations of the Cross by Aad de Haas were removed by Bishop Lemmens in 1949 at the insistence of the Vatican and ended up in the Bonnefanten Museum. Fortunately, during the restoration of 1979-1980, they were put back in place.
