Maria-Magdalenen-Kirche

Maria-Magdalenen-Kirche is a church built from red bricks and field stones with a neo-Gothic tower and a two-part gabled roof covered in red tiles. The interior contains a granite baptismal font and an ornate pulpit from the 17th century.

Construction of the church began in the 13th century following Count Adolf IV's victory at the Battle of Bornhöved in 1227. The building was later redesigned in the neo-Gothic style, which is especially visible in the distinctive tower.

The church takes its name from Mary Magdalene, an important figure in Christian tradition. Visitors can see handcrafted details today, including a granite baptismal font and an ornate pulpit created by local artisans.

The church is located at Bahnhofstraße 64 in Malente and serves as the center of the local Lutheran community. Visitors should note that services happen at specific times and it helps to check opening times ahead of your visit.

The church served as a filming location for a wedding scene in the Immenhof film series, with the ceremony performed by a real pastor. This makes it a special spot for film fans and shows how the building became culturally important beyond its religious purpose.
