    The St. Catherine's Church in Lenzen (Elbe) is a three-aisled, late Gothic hall church with a transept and choir. The foundation stone of the church dates back to the 14th century. Over the centuries there have been different phases of construction, with many renovations and transformations. After two devastating city fires (1646 and 1703) the church had to be rebuilt.

    Old frescoes that were uncovered during the renovation in 1929 have been preserved in three arches of the impressive ribbed vault. Medieval frescoes were also discovered in 2006.

    In the beginning, the valuable baroque organ had a very checkered history. In 1708 it was built by Arp Schnitger for the St. George Church in Hamburg. In 1747 the parish of Lenzen bought it as a used work. Unfortunately, she only played for 4 years, then the church tower collapsed. However, many pipes could still be saved. In 1759 the organ builder Gottlieb Scholze from Ruppin rebuilt the organ. The organ was restored in 2006/07.

        The Katharinenkirche of Lenzen (Elbe), which is very worth seeing, stands in the middle of the historical center of the small town.
