View of St. Marien Church in Colnrade

St. Mary's Church in Colnrade is a historic Evangelical Lutheran church built in 1857. This brick hall church has slender arched windows and a striking square tower, the lower floor of which is made of plastered rubble stones from the medieval predecessor building. This is followed by brickwork and an octagonal, pointed, slated helmet. Inside the church there are galleries on the north, south and west sides as well as rich furnishings from the time of construction, including a massive block altar, a picture of the crucifixion and a wooden pulpit from 1858.The church's organ was built in 1858 by Carl Heyder and renovated in 1995 by the Führer organ workshop. It has 15 registers, two manuals and a pedal. Another special feature is the apse with depictions of the four evangelists.Since 2012, the Colnrade parish has been united with the Heiligenloh parish to form the St. Marien parish of Heiligenloh-Colnrade. The church is an important part of the cultural and spiritual life in the region and a popular destination for visitors, especially cyclists travelling on the Osnabrück-Bremen route.
