Heilig-Geist-Kirche, Gothic Revival church near Werder train station, Germany.

The Heilig-Geist-Kirche features a cross-shaped floor plan with a nave and transept, constructed using Rathenow clinker bricks and recycled fieldstones.

The initial church at this location, built around 1250 by Cistercian monks from Lehnin Monastery, was demolished in 1736 due to structural deterioration.

The church displays stained glass windows created by Katharina Peschel in 1950, depicting Christ's Ascension and the four Evangelists.

The church tower reaches approximately 50 meters in height and underwent extensive preservation work in 1995 to repair damaged wooden components.

The church houses an oil painting titled 'Christ as Pharmacist' from the late 17th century, which gained recognition through Theodor Fontane's writings.
