Dreifaltigkeitskirche, Gothic church in Rhauderfehn, Germany
Description
Dreifaltigkeitskirche is a Gothic church built from red brick in Collinghorst with a single nave and a western tower. The entire structure uses masonry construction typical of medieval building practices in this region.
History
Construction began in 1250, making this the earliest church built in the Overledingerland region of East Frisia. Its establishment shaped the religious and architectural development of eastern Friesland significantly.
Culture
The baptismal font carved from Bentheim sandstone demonstrates the craftsmanship of earlier centuries and remains a focal point inside. Visitors can see medieval wall paintings that emerged during restoration work.
Practical
The building is open for visitors and hosts regular Lutheran services where the historical organ can be heard. The site is easily accessible and offers good views of the architecture both from outside and within.
Did you know?
The western tower was originally built with defensive purposes, as shown by the arrow slits in its masonry. These details suggest the building also served as a refuge for the community in uncertain times.
