The oldest visible component is the gothic nave from the period around 1300, built in the lower part of the building from Feldstein and further up from brick. The current brick choir, however, dates back to 1827. The church tower was even younger in 1902 Rebuilding in the style of the Neugotik new developed. The tower carries since 1992 again a copper spire, which had been destroyed at the end of World War II by heavy artillery shelling of the English. At first he gives a deceptive neo-Gothic character from a distance of the city and the church.The oldest reference to the activity of Lutheran preachers in Saxony-Lauenburg is an inscription on the north portal of the church, which commemorates the first Lutheran sermon on St. John's Day in 1531. The south portal made of sandstone dates from 1598, as well as the north portal. Annexes are located on the north side of the ship and on the south side of the choir. Next to the south portal is the granite pillory, on which church sinner was chained.Link:
