Große Kirche, Protestant church in Steinfurt, Germany

The Große Kirche stands on foundations from pre-Romanesque times and features a Gothic rood screen from 1487 that separates the choir from the church space.

The church site originated in the 9th century with a wooden chapel, which was replaced by a stone structure when the Knights Hospitaller established a commandery in 1222.

The first Protestant service took place on January 25, 1564, marking the transformation from Catholic to Lutheran worship following Count Arnold II's conversion.

The church office can be reached at +49 2551 9190000, and regular Sunday services are held at 10:00 AM at Friedhof 41 in Steinfurt.

In 1990, a severe storm caused the tower to collapse, damaging the barrel vault and organ, leading to extensive repairs that lasted until December 1991.
