    The Roman Catholic Church of St. Helena and Andreas was commissioned by Friedrich Franz I in 1803 as the first neo-Gothic church building and one of the oldest Roman Catholic churches in Mecklenburg.

    St. Helena and Andreas is located in the castle park on an artificially created island, while the bell tower was built on the mainland across the moat.

    A highlight already from the outside: On closer inspection, the church front is reminiscent of a city gate from that time, while the rest of the building with its tapering shape resembles a ship.

    Inside, too, St. Helena and Andreas are particularly beautiful. Not only the various relief figures, but rather real craftsmanship from the 15th century are particularly impressive: The high altar is an original carving from the Doberan Minster, while the choir windows show images of the apostles, which were painted in the 15th century for the Hamburg Cathedral, which was demolished in 1805 are. St. Helena and Andreas therefore make a good contribution to ensuring that old art can live on and can be admired.

        Beautiful architecture, very nicely located in the beautiful Ludwigsluster palace park. There are wonderful photo opportunities to be seen here. Especially in autumn, when the leaves on the trees change color, it is a beautiful, picturesque scene. The (also very pretty) bell tower stands separately, a little further and is not connected to the church building.
