Stadtkirche Neustadt in Holstein, Brick Gothic church in Neustadt in Holstein, Germany.
Stadtkirche Neustadt in Holstein is a brick church with a main nave, two side aisles, and a western tower. The building was constructed entirely from red bricks in the brick Gothic style, with a simple but robust structure.
Construction began in 1238 after a vow was made during a military conflict in 1227. The building took decades to complete, reflecting the slow development of architecture in the region over time.
The baroque altar from the 1600s shows scenes of Jesus's life and was created by a Hamburg sculptor. Visitors can see the carved details up close while walking through the church's interior.
