Dorfkirche Lindstedterhorst

Beschreibung

The church of Lindstedterhorst is one of the most bizarre of its kind. Remarkable about the house of God, whose origins date back to the middle of the 16th century, is that nothing fits together. And this ultimately creates the endearing overall impression of the church. To the "core," a medieval fieldstone building, various architectural additions have been made more or less successfully over the centuries. Around 1750, the square tower with its baroque lantern was added. One hundred years later, the choir, the apse, and enlarged window openings - all executed in brick. The architectural crowning is a porch adorned with battlements from around 1900. Noteworthy here are the beautifully ornate terracotta tiles. The interior comes from the Wilhelminian era. The then much employed Hanoverian church and decoration painter Reinhold Ebeling created, probably in the wake of his work in St. Jakobi in Stendal, the wall paintings.
