Village church Blumberg, Medieval church in Blumberg, Brandenburg, Germany
The village church in Blumberg is a Gothic brick structure with a tall western tower, a long choir, and three pillars that divide the main hall into two aisles. The interior features ribbed vaults decorated with sculpted busts.
Construction began in the second half of the 13th century as a simple single-nave church. In the early 1500s the building was enlarged and reshaped with the addition of side aisles.
The carved apostle heads inside come from a Berlin workshop around 1520 and show the skilled craftsmanship of that era.
The church is best visited during warm months when the main doors are open for visitors. Plan your visit for daylight hours to see the interior details clearly without artificial lighting.
Fragments of a wall painting showing Saint Mark were discovered in the western choir vault during 1957 restoration work. These rare remains still show traces of their original colors and outlines.
