Beatae Mariae Virginis

Beatae Mariae Virginis is a Protestant church building in Hornburg featuring Gothic elements such as polygonal pillars and vaulted arches. The interior contains a Renaissance pulpit, galleries, and a decorated baptismal font.

The building was constructed in 1616 and served as the first Protestant church in the Brunswick region. Its design combined late Gothic traditions with the needs of Protestant worship.

The space is used by the local congregation and shows marks of Protestant tradition through its modest interior furnishings. The appointments reflect religious beliefs shaped by the Reformation.

The building can be entered on foot and is easily visible from outside with clear access. Visiting is possible on certain days, so checking current opening arrangements ahead of time is helpful.

The organ dates to 1707 and was built by Georg Froböse. It is noteworthy for its five angel figures that move as the organ plays.
