    Tips

    November 14, 2025

    The church, as is so often the case, is not the first church building on this site. Oldenburg/Holstein was an important location more than 1,000 years ago – first for the Slavs, then for the Christians. The current church dates back to the 12th century; Bishop Vicelin (later canonized) initiated its construction, and Oldenburg/Holstein became a significant episcopal see.

    In the 18th century, a fire destroyed much of the church's interior. The church was rebuilt. Since 1778, the church has been adorned with a spire, unusual for North German churches. It was designed by the court architect Georg Greggenhof, a master of the late Baroque period.
