In the endowment document of the Ratzeburg diocese in 1158, a church in Nusse was first mentioned in a document. A large Romanesque church was probably built at the beginning of the 13th century on the foundations that have been preserved to this day. In 1230, the Nusse parish was listed in the Ratzeburg tithe register. From 1370 until the Greater Hamburg Act in 1937, the church village of Nusse was an exclave of the Free and Hanseatic City of Lübeck. In 1531, the rural area received its own Reformation church order from Johannes Bugenhagen. In 1774, the Lübeck town architect Johann Adam Soherr built a west tower on the church. A major fire damaged the church in 1821 and destroyed 51 houses in the village. The church subsequently partially collapsed and was then demolished in 1836. In the following years, a new building was built, designed by the Lübeck city architect Anton Spetzler. He created a three-aisled building in late classical and Romanesque forms, with a wide central nave spanned by a wooden barrel vault and a strongly recessed apse.
The walls are divided by supporting pillars and round-arched windows.
The side aisles are divided transversely by a gallery and have separate side and staircase rooms at both ends.
The inauguration took place on September 8, 1839.
The new building initially only had a ridge turret.
The mighty new tower, built into the church roof, with a hipped gable roof in the Heimatschutz style, was only built during a renovation in 1914/15 based on a design by the Lübeck building councilor Carl Mühlenpfordt.
The local priest, Pastor Harder, and his late wife donated the large crucifix above the altar structure. The inauguration service was held on December 19, 1915 by senior citizen Johannes Becker from Lübeck.

The dials with the Roman numerals of the church tower clocks in Nusse have a special feature. The Roman 4 is not represented as IV, but with 4 lines - i.e.: IIII.

Beautiful two-story church (often referred to as a cathedral)

The first reliable documented mention of Nusse was in 1194 in a contract between the Ratzeburg bishop and the cathedral chapter. This makes Nusse one of the oldest parishes in the Duchy of Lauenburg district.
The original church in Nusse was built around 1250.
The first documented mention of the Behlendorf parish, however, only appeared in the Ratzeburg bishop's tax of 1319.
The current church replaces the original building, which was demolished in 1837 after a vault collapsed. The new building was built in 1838/39 using the old foundation walls.
A three-aisled hall made of fieldstone and brick was created with a raised central nave and a recessed polygonal choir. As a result of the flat angle of inclination
of the side roofs, moisture damage occurred to the masonry, so that reconstruction was necessary. In 1914/15, a uniformly high roof was built that arched over all three naves
and a mighty tower was built on the west side, which was drawn into the nave.

The interior furnishings are essentially from the time when the church was built. The late classicist pulpit altar, which, like the organ, was made by Theodor Vogt from Lübeck, is noteworthy. The classicist vase-shaped baptismal font was also created by C. A: Schönemann in 1839 especially for the new church. It replaced a baptismal font from the 13th century, which was still there but was badly damaged.
A wooden crucifix (15th century) and two paintings (Annunciation, 1st half of the 16th century; Last Supper, 17th century) were taken from the previous church.
Also worth mentioning is the picture of Pastor Andreas Sartori from 1898.
