St. Cyprian und Cornelius, Late Gothic church in Ganderkesee, Germany.

St. Cyprian and Cornelius is a late Gothic church in Ganderkesee with pointed arches and ribbed vaulting throughout its interior. The structure displays typical features of medieval ecclesiastical design found across northern Germany.

A Romanesque fieldstone tower with paired sound arcades of Porta sandstone dates from the 12th century; its vaulted ground floor rests on columns whose cube capitals resemble those in the east crypt of Bremen Cathedral. The Late Gothic hall church of fieldstone and brick was added in the first half of the 15th century, with a brick sacristy around 1500. Artillery fire set the church ablaze on 19–21 April 1945, destroying roof and spire; the roof and vaults were restored in 1946–48 and the spire rebuilt in 1954.

The church is dedicated to Saints Cyprian and Cornelius, and a local legend says the devil, tricked about the building's purpose during construction, stamped his hoof into a fieldstone on the exterior wall. Inside, the pulpit of 1608 carries paintings of the four Evangelists, and two box pews survive, one for the Nutzborn estate from the 18th century and one for Elmeloh dated 1711.

The building is easily accessible for visitors who wish to explore its interior and examine the Gothic architecture up close. Details about visiting times or guided tours are available through the local parish office.

The building holds protected heritage status, which has ensured the preservation of its original medieval architectural elements. This designation reflects its importance as a historical document of early church construction methods.
