Burnkirch Church

Some places are bathed in mystery, poetry and magnetism, and this is certainly true of Burnkirch church in Illfurth which is often painted, photographed and visited.
Founded in the 8th century, it was the ""ecclesia matrix"" (mother church) in the village and this is where the exorcism of young Joseph Burner took place in 1869. It houses frescoes from the 15th century and the tomb of the knight Godefroy Burnkirch. The frescoes are classified as Historic Monuments.
