This brick church, which was built at the end of the 13th century, stands on a hill. The abundant decorations with heraldically stylized animals that can be found on the outside wall of the church are unusual. The southern choir portal is adorned with the alternation between glazed and unglazed bricks.

The church is a three-aisled hall church made of brick. The choir is square and dates from the end of the 13th century. The choir has a rib vault. The proportions of the floor plan and structural forms are still reminiscent of the Romanesque, especially the choir, which ends smoothly in the east. Interesting are the bricks worked into the outer walls with bas-reliefs of heraldically stylized animals (lion, griffin, leopard and tiger), as well as vine tendrils. The decoration of the southern choir portal consists of an alternation of glazed and unglazed bricks. The longhouse is a little younger. Octagonal pillars support a ribbed vault in all three naves, the central nave is significantly higher. The three western yokes are separated from the eastern by a wide rectangular belt and were only erected in the second half of the 19th century, at the same time as the tower.

In 1966 the church was restored.

The Steffenshäger village church is a bit out of the ordinary here. The usual churches in the country are smaller and almost all of the same shape. In this building, everything from the nave to the tower is larger and the building materials are more noble. This shows that Steffenshagen was a wealthier community in ancient times.
There is also a tomb on the western side of a bomber crew that was completed in 1945 and that survived and is said to have been shot. So an execution in enemy territory.
Quite an impressive story. The descendants of the pilots are said to have already visited the grave site.
