    Historical Facts

    As early as the 12th century, a chapel stood in the area of the present church, near which Osterode's oldest market may have been located. Since 1233, a nunnery, living according to the Cistercian rule, has been documented here.

    In the mid-16th century, the monastery was dissolved and converted into Osterode Castle by Duke Ernst III. Later, only the state bailiff and a high court, or rather the district court, resided here, which still occupies the south wing of the castle today.

    In 1751/1752, the castle church was fundamentally rebuilt and took on its current appearance.

    Our church is known as a concert church. Every year, several concerts take place under the direction of the Kirchenkreiskantor, partly with the Musikgemeinde Osterode.
