Dorfkirche Hornstorf, Gothic church in Hornstorf, Germany

The Dorfkirche Hornstorf features cross-ribbed vaults supported by corbels shaped into mask heads and a square western tower with biforium windows.

The first written records of the church date to December 10, 1327, when it participated in a wine delivery system for local churches.

The Renaissance pulpit from 1651 displays painted biblical figures, while the 1910 stained glass windows present religious scenes with antique glass techniques.

Regular services take place in this Lutheran church, which connects several surrounding villages as part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany.

The smaller bell in the tower was cast in 1878 using metal from captured French cannons, while the larger bell was removed during World War I.
