The Evangelical Church in Apelern is a listed sacred building in Apelern.
In the early Middle Ages, Apelern was the seat of the archdeacon of the diocese of Minden for the entire Bukkigau. The two-aisled, three-bay Gothic hall church goes back to a Romanesque building from 1162, which was rebuilt and expanded over the centuries. The tower from the 13th century looks like a fortified tower in its massiveness. In terms of its basic layout, it is one of the oldest parts of the church. The nave was lengthened in the Gothic period. Three Romanesque columns were placed in the central axis in such a way that a two-aisled interior was created, which is still preserved today.
The burial place of the von Münchhausen family at the tower is richly decorated with early baroque fittings, arcatures and coats of arms.

Architectural mix at its finest. Whoever pays determines the style.
