Margarethenkirche, Medieval church in Gehrden, Germany.

The Margarethenkirche features a prominent stone tower with stepped gables, built using Santonium limestone and reaching a height of 32.80 meters.

Construction of the church tower began around 1250, marking the architectural transition from Romanesque to Gothic styles while serving as a defensive structure.

The entrance displays a stone tympanum with Christ enthroned holding a Bible, surrounded by detailed carvings of acanthus leaves.

Located at Kirchstraße 4 in Gehrden, the church maintains regular services and can be contacted by phone at 05108 3719 or email at KG.Gehrden@evlka.de.

The tower houses five bells, including one from 1355, recognized as among the oldest bells in Lower Saxony.
