The Dorfkirche Bergenhusen is the Evangelical Lutheran church of Bergenhusen, a municipality in the district of Schleswig-Flensburg in Schleswig-Holstein.

Bergenhusen was first mentioned in 1304 as Beveringhusen. A church already existed at that time. Known as the "Felsenkapelle", this small building made of fieldstone was dilapidated at the beginning of the 18th century, which is why the Lübeck Prince Bishop Christian August von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf, who ruled the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf for his underage nephew Karl Friedrich, in 1711 ordered the renovation of the tower and nave. However, the community opted for a larger new building. This was financed by the Hamburg church lottery. On December 14, 1712, the church was consecrated in the presence of Prince Bishop Christian August. The year of construction in black tiles on the roof and two foundation stones in the south-east corner of the choir remind us of the date of construction.

In 2002 the church was renovated. In connection with the 300th birthday of the church building in 2012, it received a modern, computer-controlled lighting system.

The Dorfkirche Bergenhusen is the Evangelical Lutheran church of Bergenhusen, a municipality in the district of Schleswig-Flensburg in Schleswig-Holstein. Church she belongs to the parish of Stapelholm in the church district of Schleswig-Flensburg in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in northern Germany. The church was built in 1712. The equipment comes partly from the previous building, partly from the time the church was built. Bergenhusen was first mentioned in 1304 as Beveringhusen. A church already existed at that time. Known as the "Felsenkapelle", this small building made of fieldstone was dilapidated at the beginning of the 18th century, which is why the Lübeck Prince Bishop Christian August von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf, who ruled the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf for his underage nephew Karl Friedrich, in 1711 ordered the renovation of the tower and nave. However, the community opted for a larger new building. This was financed by the Hamburg church lottery. On December 14, 1712, the church was consecrated in the presence of Prince Bishop Christian August.

In 2002 the church was renovated. In connection with the 300th birthday of the church building in 2012, it received a modern, computer-controlled lighting system. The church is a baroque hall church with a five-sided chancel. On a foundation of fieldstone, the walls are carved granite stones to a height of about 2 meters, possibly the building material of the old church. Above that, the walls are made of much thinner bricks. Initially, the church had two entrances on the south side, of which the eastern one has a porch, which, since the church is only entered through the tower, is used for other purposes like the northern mortuary.

A special gem is the village church from 1712. The interior of the baroque hall church was completely renovated in 2002. The beamed ceiling, pews and gallery parapets are painted with tendrils and angel heads, naive depictions of biblical stories and characters. 1,600 parishioners from the communities of Bergenhusen, Wohlde and Meggerdorf belong to the parish.
