"Two things make the Evangelical Church in Selters special. First, the building is not just a church, but has two side wings that were originally built as a school and have been in municipal use ever since. The other is its architectural style. A church so clearly and unequivocally classic is rare. At the end of 1841, the first children attended school there. The church was consecrated a few months later, in 1842. The building replaced a chapel in danger of collapsing and an old, dilapidated school. Thus, the civil and church communities agreed to build a shared building in the center of the town. The listed building is still used as an Evangelical church 175 years after its construction. The side wings temporarily housed the school, the town hall, a library, rehearsal rooms, and the youth welfare office of the municipal association."
