St. Nicolai Church Bordelum

The Bordelum church is not in the middle of the village, but just outside in the field. Here - on the slope of the large Stollberg - the Frisian ancestors probably worshiped their deities. The Christian missionaries were not squeamish in their approach: here, as in many other places, they built their churches directly next to or on the site of the old Frisian shrines
(so-called “cult replacement”).
The church's beginnings date back to the 12th century: the altar apse and the Romanesque windows date from this time. The choir has a beautiful late Gothic vault, the nave shows Renaissance elements. There is also a free-standing bell tower attached to the church. The first previous building is mentioned in 1633, the current bell house dates from 1793 and houses a bell that was cast in 1718.
The church is therefore around 800-900 years old. It has been changed many times and burned down at least once.
But the people of the region have always been able to celebrate their church services here, baptize their children and bury their dead from here with God's Word. This small church represents a lot of life - in history and for us today.kirche-bordelum.de/portfolio/st-nicolai-zu-bordelum
