Florianskirche Sillenstede, Romanesque church in Schortens, Germany
The granite stone church extends 44 meters in length with 11-meter-high walls and features rounded arch windows on both longitudinal sides.
Built on elevated ground in the 12th century, the church sustained damage during a feud and underwent restoration, leading to its reconsecration in 1233.
The interior contains a baptismal font made of Baumberger limestone from Westphalia, representing one of the oldest examples in the Oldenburg region.
From June to September, weekly organ concerts take place every Saturday, featuring the Johann-Adam-Berner organ dating from 1757.
The bell tower houses three bells, including one cast by Bremen bell maker Ghert Klinghe in 1440.
