Friedenskirche

Friedenskirche is a brick church building in Küsten with a single nave and semi-circular apse, displaying Gothic Revival design elements throughout its structure. The interior features distinct proportions created by its vaulted sections and the placement of architectural details.

A church stood on this site from at least 1375, though it was destroyed before the 17th century ended. The present building was constructed in 1865 with funding from the King of Hanover.

Metal relief works on the walls depict stages of life and biblical scenes, connecting personal stories with shared spiritual themes that visitors can observe throughout the interior.

The building is easily accessible on foot and can be explored at your own pace from outside and around the grounds. Check local information before visiting to confirm current access conditions and any special viewing options.

Rather than a working clock mechanism, the church tower displays a painted clock face directly on its exterior wall. This artistic choice makes the tower distinctive and shows a creative approach to a building element visitors often overlook.
