Marienkirche, Gothic church in Rendsburg, Germany
Marienkirche is a three-nave brick hall church spanning four bays, featuring a polygonal choir and a low tower positioned between two older chapels. The building displays typical Gothic brick construction with its characteristic arches and masonry details.
The current church was built in 1287 following the destruction of an earlier church by fire in 1286. It was erected at the highest point of an island in the Eider River, marking a renewal after this loss.
The name refers to the veneration of Mary, which holds a central place in the church's identity. Today, people gather here for services and community events that shape the religious life of this town.
The church is located at An der Marienkirche 21 and is easy to find. You can visit the interior during services or at special opening times, and the space is best explored during daylight hours.
A bronze baptismal font from the 14th century rests on three figures depicting scenes from Christ's life. It is the oldest surviving piece of the church's original furnishings and draws the attention of many visitors.
