St. Cyriakus is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Vilsen in Bruchhausen-Vilsen in Lower Saxony in the district of Diepholz. It is named after the martyr Cyriac, who is considered a saint in the Catholic and Orthodox Church, and belonged to the Heiligenberg Monastery.

History: Around 1200, a hall church with a western tower was built here using field and rubble stones in the Romanesque style, the choir finish of which is unclear. It forms the nave of today's cruciform church. The soffits of the arched windows, which are bricked up today, are made of Portas sandstone. The lower part of the tower dates from this period.

North side with Gothic (windows and western transept), late Gothic (sandstone portal) and neo-Gothic (new transept and probably the western window) changes

Towards the end of the 13th century, the brick Gothic style church was extended with a transept and a new chancel. The old nave was probably also vaulted on this occasion. and the vaulting of the whole church. The cross vaults of the tower bay and the nave bays have strong ribs. The north and south side portals are made of sandstone and have carved dates, 1534 and 1547 respectively.

In the years 1883-85, the church was expanded according to plans by C. W. Hase with a second transept, which adjoins the old one to the east. The roof turret of the tower also comes from this conversion.
