Dorfkirche Raben

In Raben you will also find a small village church made of fieldstone. The 13th-century building has undergone some changes over time. The windows have been significantly enlarged and some have been added, and the original church tower has been replaced by a half-timbered tower. It is worth spending a little time here to discover the church.

Extensive renovations were carried out in 1858, which helped determine the current appearance of the church. Among other things, one window opening was bricked up, two others were enlarged and three new window openings were broken open in the south wall. The church building work that took place at that time shows that the community was doing quite well financially at that time. In the years 1906/07 the church was restored again. The weather vane on the tower is a reminder of this. The painting of the church dates back to this time.

The village church Raben is a stately late Romanesque hall building made of stone blocks. Although it is called an "open church"

The village church has survived wars and disasters. It originated in the first half of the 13th century. The walls with retracted choir and apse are adorned with a baroque half-timbered tower.

In 1858 extensive renovation measures were carried out, which helped shape the current appearance of the church. For example, one window opening bricked up, two more enlarged and three new window openings broken open in the south wall. The church building work that took place at that time shows that the congregation was doing very well financially at that time. Another restoration of the church took place in 1906/07. The weather vane on the tower reminds of this. The painting of the church is from this time. On the north outer wall of the nave there are several very old grave monuments. They are reminiscent of strokes of fate in times long past.

Also beautiful inside, the church is open.
