Mennonitenkirche Leer

The Mennonitenkirche features clean lines, symmetrical design, and tall arched windows along its walls, exemplifying traditional Mennonite architectural simplicity.

Built in 1825, the church originated from Dutch religious refugees who settled in Leer around 1540 and initially conducted services in rented meeting spaces.

The congregation maintained Dutch as their church language until the early 20th century, reflecting the strong connection to their Netherlands heritage.

The church contains a restored 1860 Brond de Grave Winter organ with ten registers, eight of which preserve the original configuration.

The interior follows the Mennonite preaching church principle, with a central pulpit surrounded by white-lacquered wooden box pews.
