Description
Main Portal
In the tympanum is a crucifix. On the trumeau is a statue of St. Mary with Jesus and on the jambs are statues of saints Martin, the town patron, and St. Liborius, the patron of the diocese of Paderborn. On the feast day of Liborius, 23 July 1907, the cornerstone was laid for the present church.
Statues:
St. Martin (with a goose at his feet) (Savaria, Pannonia (now Szombathely, Hungary), 316 - Candes-Saint-Martin, Gaul 397), 3rd Bishop of Tours. Around his name much legendary material accrued and he has become one of the most familiar and recognizable Christian saints
