St. Andrew's Church, Lübbecke

St. Andrew's Church features a prominent 70-meter tower, thick stone walls, and semicircular arches characteristic of medieval ecclesiastical buildings in northern Germany.

The construction of this religious structure began around 1160, and in 1350 it transformed from a single-nave design into a Gothic hall church with two additional aisles.

The church contains a collection of religious artworks, including a Gothic baptismal font and a wooden crucifix dating back to approximately 1200.

The building serves as the main Evangelical-Lutheran parish church of Lübbecke, hosting regular services and remaining open for visitors throughout the week.

During renovations between 1959 and 1962, workers discovered wall and ceiling paintings from the 13th century hidden beneath layers of previous modifications.
