St. Laurentiuskirche

St. Laurentiuskirche is a stone building with distinctive towers standing on a sand dune in Lunden. It sits surrounded by a historical cemetery where family graves are arranged over generations.

The church was founded around 1100 at a site with possible earlier religious significance. Its first documented mention appeared in 1140 in records from the Bremen Archbishop.

The church serves as a gathering place for the community, hosting celebrations and regular meetings that shape local identity. It remains central to how residents understand their shared heritage.

The interior is easily accessible and offers a quiet space to explore at your own pace. The surrounding cemetery can also be visited for a walk among old trees and historic monuments.

The building survived multiple severe fires over the centuries and required several rebuildings. Major restoration work was completed in 1834 following an accident that occurred during organ repairs.
