St. Cyriacus Church Kellinghusen

According to legend, Archbishop Ansgar founded a wooden church or wooden chapel here. In addition to Schenefeld, Nortorf and Jevenstedt, Kellinghusen was one of the four Holstein Urkirchspiele. In 1154 the church was built by monks from the monastery founded by Vicelin in Wippendorf (Neumünster). This is evident from the Stellau church book: In the foundation wall of the tower, Pastor Bielefeld found a stone in 1728, according to which the church was built in 1154 and consecrated to Cyriacus. The church was first mentioned in 1196 and the first priest attested: Johannes de Kelenghusen.
