St. Severini

St. Severini stands with a separate wooden bell tower within a cemetery containing over 90 sandstone grave slabs from the 16th to 19th centuries.

The core structure dates to the 13th century, with major renovations between 1785 and 1791 that included a southern annex and barrel vault ceiling.

The interior displays 17th and 18th-century rural craftsmanship through decorated benches, galleries, and distinct hat racks next to wooden pews for men's headwear.

The church maintains its position as the largest religious structure in the Vierlande district of Hamburg, located at Kirchenheerweg in postal code 21037.

Local folklore tells of the devil attempting to throw the bell tower into the Elbe River, explaining its separate position from the main church building.
