The neo-Gothic St. Vitus Church with its striking towering tower was built in 1886 according to plans by Conrad Wilhelm Hase (1818-1902), the leading architect of the "Hanover School". Hase was an ardent supporter of pure, unplastered brick Gothic. It is estimated that Hase and his students built at least 1,000 neo-Gothic churches in northern Germany and the entire Baltic region. The current church replaces two previous buildings that had stood here since the founding of the Benedictine monastery (first mentioned in 1148). Particularly worth seeing: the late Gothic carved altar from the monastery (built around 1500). It is the absolute eye-catcher in the church interior. On this wonderful summer day, I was very lucky🍀🌟 that the door was open and I was able to take a look inside this beautiful church, accompanied by the sounds of the organ. A magical moment!‼️🌟🍀
