St. Bartholomäus, Baroque church in Wesselburen, Germany.

The brick church features a tall onion dome atop its structure, marking the highest point of Wesselburen on an elevated mound.

Following a devastating fire in 1736, Duke Carl Friedrich of Holstein-Gottorf commissioned architect Johann Georg Schott to reconstruct the church by 1738.

The sandstone baptismal font from the 13th century displays reliefs of the four rivers of paradise, representing early Christian art in Dithmarschen.

The church maintains regular services and houses a Klapmeyer organ from 1740, which underwent extensive restoration between 1968 and 2011.

Two distinct galleries contain noble boxes, including a red seat beneath the organ and a blue duke's box funded by wealthy citizens.
