St Lamberti Church

St Lamberti Church is a church building in the city center with five distinct towers, including a central spire reaching 86 meters high. The structure combines multiple architectural layers with brick walls and detailed embellishments.

The church was built between 1155 and 1234 as a Romanesque hall church. In the 19th century it underwent major rebuilding that shaped its current form.

The church functions as the primary preaching location for the bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Oldenburg. Worshippers gather here regularly for services and religious events.

The building is centrally located in Oldenburg, positioned between the old Rathaus to the north and Schloss Oldenburg to the southeast. Its central location makes it easily accessible on foot and simple to include in a walking tour.

The building displays a striking blend of two architectural styles, with angular Gothic brickwork on the exterior contrasting sharply with a circular neoclassical rotunda inside. This unexpected pairing of pointed exterior forms and flowing interior spaces is rarely seen in local architecture.
