The St. Nicolai Church in Hagenburg in the district of Schaumburg is the church of the local community Hagenburg the Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Landkreis Schaumburg -Lippe and an important, originally preserved architectural monument of the Neo-Gothic.
The church, built in the years 1869-1871 as a replacement for the small and dilapidated old village church of the district Altenhagen, is an elaborate work of the then leading historicist architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase. On the one hand, it owes its origins to the needs of the growing rural population and the onset of excursion tourism on the Steinhuder Meer, and on the other to the representational will of Prince Adolf Georg von Schaumburg-Lippe and his family, who used Hagenburg Castle as their summer residence and almost completely financed the construction of the church with the Prince's Lodge ,
Hase designed the church in the forms of the north German brick Gothic with rich structure and diverse ornamentation. Building materials are varnished bricks in different colors. The geostete building is a three-nave hall church, whose aisles are divided by brick galleries in two floors. The eastern end of the four-bay long house is formed by two transverse arms and the altar room, all polygonal closing. Above the cathedral-like stepped west portal, which is emphasized by flank constructions, stands the massive square tower with corner turrets and a colorful ornamented cone point.
