Dorfkirche Miesterhorst

Beschreibung

The beautiful half-timbered church of the district of Miesterhorst dates back to the mid-18th century. The brick tower was built in the 1920s in the style of New Objectivity on the foundations of its predecessor, which had fallen into disrepair, thus making it one of the rare architectural witnesses of this style epoch in the region. The Baroque furnishings of the church are kept extremely simple. Particularly stylish is the pulpitaltar from the early 18th century. The organ, like that in Mieste, was designed by the Anhalt organ builders' family Rühlmann for Miesterhorst in the early 20th century. The real art-historical highlight of the church of Miesterhorst are its five stained glass windows, which give the interior of the church an almost mystical character, as well as the glass paintings with apostle motifs. These were created in the late 1920s by the well-known Berlin artist Carl Busch.
