    The Evangelical Lutheran St. Catherine's Church in Westensee is under the patronage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. The fieldstone building dates mainly from the first half of the 13th century. The Gothic choir and the massive brick west tower were added later. Burial chapels for local nobles have been added to the north and east sides. Inside is the epitaph of Daniel von Rantzau, the oldest Renaissance work of art in Schleswig-Holstein. The church was extensively restored at the beginning of 2025.

      St. Catherine's Church in Westensee is an impressive fieldstone building dating back to the 13th century, later expanded with a Gothic choir and a massive brick tower. Inside, you'll find the epitaph of Daniel von Rantzau, the oldest Renaissance work of art in Schleswig-Holstein. The church was extensively restored in early 2025 and now shines in new splendor.

      The church garden features several comfortable wooden benches, two of which are perfectly exposed to the sun for a picnic break.

        The church is pretty to look at and is beautifully lit in sunny weather. 🌞
