St. Andreas Church in RiedeOne of the most beautiful churches in the municipality of Thedinghausen is St. Andreas Church in Riede. Impressive frescoes painted in the Italian style cover nearly all the vaults of the 15th-century nave. The central figure of all the groups of figures is Christ, enthroned in the vault above the altar as the Judge of the World on the Day of Judgment. All the frescoes were discovered beneath a thick layer of plaster during renovations in 1900; they were carefully uncovered, partially restored, and their colors refreshed. They are believed to date from shortly after 1350. These frescoes alone make a visit to the church in Riede well worth your while.5. Riede Village CenterAt the corner of Bremer Straße and Randermannsweg stands the historic house of former innkeeper Heinrich Randermann, built in 1900. From 1964 to 1991, Hermann and Käte Iden ran a general store and an inn with banquet facilities there. In front of the former Diers Bakery lies the site of the former monument square. In place of the monument stands a large boulder bearing the coat of arms of the municipality of Riede.6.
