The St. Laurentius Church in Kosel is one of three round tower churches in the Schleswig region. However, it should be certain that it originally did not have a tower. It is easy to prove that the tower was subsequently added to the west gable of the nave

The Protestant St. Laurentius Church in Kosel is one of three round-tower churches in the Schleswig area. It dates from around the second half of the 12th century.
Since there is little record of the church's early times, one can only speculate about its early history up to the end of the Reformation. It is possible that the round tower served as an observation platform due to the wide view from the top floor. After the Reformation and the dissolution of the cathedral capital, St. Laurentius was a royal administrative unit. At that time, Kosel and Weseby formed the Vogtey "Cosel" and were part of the second cathedral chapter district. When this was dissolved in 1777, the Vogtey "Cosel" came to Hüttener Harde and then, at the beginning of the Prussian period, the municipality of Kosel came into being. Since there was no pastor rule in the community, a fixed deposit was paid to the king when the generation changed in order to become “free owners”. Thus they were subjects of the Danish king and not the duke of Schleswig.
It is a romantic, single-nave fieldstone building with a round west tower with a conical roof, which was added later. The interior of the church features a Mannerist vault painting from the mid-17th century, a late Gothic vaulted box chancel from the 17th century and an altar with a painting of the Last Supper.
Today, around 2,500 people belong to the Kosel community. In addition to St. Laurentius Church, Fleckeby's Cross Church and Louisenlund's Chapel also belong to the parish. All year round, Sunday, children's and holiday services and much more such as evening and Taizé prayers are invited.

I had to stop here; The church dates from the 12th century and is a Romanesque stone church with a massive round tower, which is very rare. The church tower is currently scaffolded.
