As you approach Sandesneben, you will notice St. Mary's Church from afar, which stands imposingly above the rest of the town on a 12m high hill in the center of the town. https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/3563695

Imposing and can be seen from afar.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Mary in Sandesneben was built between 1278 and 1314 between the two circular villages that made up the village called Zanzegnewe, first mentioned in 1230. The church and altar were consecrated on June 24, 1314, St. John's Day, by the Ratzeburg bishop Markward von Jesowe. This is documented by a document from the same year that was walled into the altar and found in 1636. Unfortunately, only a copy of this document exists today. The church stands in the village a good twelve meters higher on a small, steep hill that is often considered to be a former castle hill. The nave originally consisted of three stone vaults, but these collapsed in 1640 and were replaced by a wooden ceiling, which can still be seen in the area of the chancel today. Remains of the vaults can be found in the chancel and in the nave. The porch at the entrance was added during a renovation from 1963 to 1965. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marienkirche_(Sandesneben)

A very beautiful patch of earth

From a distance, before you reach the town, you can already see the Sandesnebener church. Here is a little information about their history: The St. Mary's Church in Sandesneben The St. Mary's Church was consecrated on the eve of St. John's Day in 1314 by Bishop Marquard of Ratzeburg. The document about the consecration was deposited in the altar at that time, where it was found and copied in 1636. Unfortunately, when the altar was demolished in 1780, the original fell apart. The originally arched brick building with a retracted box choir was rebuilt in 1874 by the state architect Lohmeyer and its appearance was significantly changed: the outer walls were lowered, the gable was reduced in size and the original Gothic windows were replaced by today's ones. In addition, the vault was replaced with a beamed ceiling. A wooden installation with slender pillars, Tudor arches and a wooden barrel above the central nave now divides the room into three naves. The St. Mary's Church originally had a wooden bell tower, which burned down after a lightning strike in 1887 and was only replaced by a neo-Gothic church tower in 1906. The church underwent further structural changes and redesigns in 1956, 1965 and 1992. The oldest piece of equipment is the base of a limestone baptismal font, which, according to the latest findings, dates from the beginning of the 15th century and is therefore a good two hundred years younger than previously assumed. It is made up of two fragments that were discovered during the church renovation in 1956. The relief fields depict a hunt for wild boars and deer or the aurochs, which were not yet extinct at the time. Also noteworthy is an angel's head from 1598, which comes from the ducal grave monument in Lauenburg's Mary Magdalene Church that was demolished in 1827 and has now found its place in the chancel opposite the pulpit.
