St. Salvatoris-Kirche

The wooden framed St. Salvatoris Church stands on an elevated position near the Elbe River, featuring a hall structure with barrel vaulted ceiling and multi-sided choir.

The construction of the current building began in 1685 after previous churches were destroyed by floods, using salvaged materials including bells, altar, and pulpit from earlier structures.

The interior displays stained glass windows from 1687, created by Bergedorf glazier Henning Schröder, and wall-mounted gravestones commemorating former pastors of the congregation.

The church maintains regular opening hours from 10:00 to 16:00, allowing visitors to explore the historical structure and its religious artifacts.

The church's bronze baptismal font incorporates an ancient wooden beam discovered in the Elbe River, demonstrating integration of local historical elements.
