Protestant Church, Borgholzhausen, Protestant church building in Borgholzhausen, Germany.

The Protestant Church in Borgholzhausen is a hall church in late-Gothic style with one aisle, built from 1340 and expanded by a Gothic choir in 1496. Its rough grey-brown stone walls, a tall square tower with a steep pyramidal slate roof and a white clock face, and a nave with a red tiled roof are visible from outside. Inside, the carved stone altarpiece from 1501 depicts the Passion of Jesus in 13 scenes.

The church structure dates to 1340 and replaced an earlier building documented as far back as 1169 during the era of the Counts of Ravensberg. The site thus served as a center of religious life in the region for many centuries.

The parish became Lutheran in 1535 under reformer Johannes Sandhagen, born in 1492, and pastors from his family followed him; Catholic services were still permitted until 1624. The carved stone altar of 1501, showing the Passion in 13 scenes, was made for congregation members who could not read. A memorial outside honors soldiers who fell in the wars of 1864 to 1871.

The church stands in the centre of Borgholzhausen, with the war memorial of 1864–1871 in front of it. The parish covers 47.3 km² and had 4,611 members when the German article was written. A support association founded on 23 April 2007, chaired by pastor Christian Eckey, raised funds for the facade; plastering work began in September 2009.

A monument in front of the church honors soldiers who died in armed conflicts between 1864 and 1871, marking the community's memory of loss. The memorial connects the religious space with local remembrance and shows how such sites hold meaning beyond their original purpose.
