The St. Catharinen Church of the Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Westensee dates from the time shortly after the country was settled after the Battle of Bornhöved (1227). It was first mentioned in 1253 as a branch of the Neumünster monastery. The 13th century nave, made of field stones, originally corresponded to the field stone churches of Ratekau and Flemhude. In the east there was an apse, in the west possibly a round tower as in the Vicelinkirchen. The church is entered through two entrances in the north (women's door) and south (men's door). The doors that are now walled up can still be seen.More detailed information:de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Catharinen_(Westensee)
