    The architect Heinrich Schmidt was commissioned to build the Niendorf church. He designed the new building based on the models – and possibly still existing plans – of Cay Dose's Rellinger Church and the church in Brande-Hörnerkirchen. The octagonal Niendorf Market Church, built between 1769 and 1770, represents the ideal of an 18th-century Protestant church, where worshippers have an equally good view of the dominant pulpit from all sides.

    The church was built of brick, and the walls were pierced with large, double-arched windows, lending the interior a particularly spacious feel. Schmidt crowned the domed mansard roof with a lantern-shaped turret.

    The church was sufficiently completed to be consecrated in 1770.
    Above the main portal and the pulpit, small golden monograms of the Danish King Christian VII commemorate the initiator of the new building and thus also the circumstances that led to the construction of the late Baroque church.


    The interior is decorated entirely in pink and gray tones, with the ceiling in ochre,
    and is surrounded by a wooden gallery. The focal point of the hall-like space is the festive pulpit altar, crowned by an organ, which is intended to symbolically represent the three main elements of a Protestant church: sacrament, word, and music.


    A wooden angel hovers in front of the altar, holding the baptismal font in its hands
    and can be lowered for baptism.


    The church is also open to visitors outside of services as part of the Open Church project.
