Lindenberg church, Church building in Ahrensfelde, Germany.
Lindenberg church is a stone structure built in the first half of the 13th century with Gothic features such as net vaulting and figurative consoles. The building has a retracted choir, an apse, and a solid west tower with irregular masonry.
The structure was built in the first half of the 13th century as a stone church and underwent significant renovations in the 15th century with Gothic elements. These changes shaped the building into its present form.
The apse dome holds a wall painting uncovered in 1916, showing Christ as Judge between angels, Mary and John; it dates from around 1450 and was heavily restored by painter Wilhelm Richter-Rheinsberg. Ornamental painting on the triumphal arch, window reveals and pews, plus the south windows' glazing, were made in 1911 in partly Baroque-inspired forms.
Access to the interior requires advance notice with the parish, so visitors should contact them ahead of time. The building sits in a quiet village setting and can be reached easily on foot or by car.
The 1702 wooden pulpit is carried by a carved figure of Saint Peter, and its five-sided basket shows Christ and the Evangelists between twisted corner columns. Three medieval bells from the 14th to 16th centuries remain in the tower.
