Klosterkirche St. Marien und St. Cyprian

The Klosterkirche St. Marien und St. Cyprian features Gothic architecture with remnants of Romanesque elements in its southern choir wall and window frames.

Founded in 975 after relocation from Thankmarsfelde, the church suffered two major fires in the 12th and 13th centuries that shaped its current Gothic structure.

The sandstone monthly column displays agricultural tasks throughout the year, representing medieval craftsmanship and the connection between religious and rural life.

The church serves the Evangelical Church Community of Nienburg, requiring advance arrangements through the parish office for guided tours at 034721-22348.

The ornamental stucco floor preserves original Romanesque decorations, making it a notable example of medieval architectural craftsmanship in Saxony-Anhalt.
