St.-Katharinen Lenzen, Gothic brick church in Lenzen, Germany

St.-Katharinen Lenzen is a Gothic brick church with three naves, a cross-shaped transept, and a choir section. The building features ribbed vaulting typical of the Gothic style and was constructed entirely from red bricks.

The church is a hall church of Brick Gothic that was altered several times. Its present rectangular tower with a square upper stage and pointed spire was completed in 1760, after a tower collapse in 1751. A restoration followed in 1929, and the building was renovated again after 1990.

The church is named after Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a figure widely venerated in regional religious art traditions. The congregation has gathered here for centuries to mark religious occasions, leaving traces in the interior decorations and sacred objects.

The church is an open church, so visitors can step inside outside service times. The interior is entered at ground level; the baroque galleries added in the 18th century line the upper walls of the nave. The 1747 organ, rebuilt by Gottlieb Scholtze in 1759, stands in the gallery and was restored between 2005 and 2007.

A bronze baptismal font from 1486 stands inside, supported by four figures of Saint Catherine. An altar added during the mid-1600s reveals the skilled craftsmanship of that era.
