St. Laurentius und St. Nikolaus

The church features brick walls, rounded arches, and cross-ribbed vaults in the choir section, displaying architectural elements from different periods.

Dutch colonists and monks from Jerichow constructed the current church around 1200, replacing a wooden structure built on a former Slavic ritual site.

The church honors two saints, Lawrence of Rome and Nicholas, reflecting the religious traditions and spiritual heritage of the Saxony-Anhalt region.

Located along the Romanesque Road and Elbe Cycle Route, the church welcomes visitors daily and maintains regular religious services for the community.

The church bells hang in the southern sound windows of the open tower, creating an unusual arrangement that dates back to 1949.
