Trinity Church, Lutheran church in Friedrichsberg, Schleswig, Germany
Trinity Church is a brick hall church with a polygonal eastern end and a neo-Gothic western tower built in 1872. The structure combines elements from different construction phases and defines the appearance of the Friedrichsberg district.
The church was built between 1650 and 1651, funded by Elisabeth Beling's endowment and donations from Duke Friedrich III and his son. The neo-Gothic tower was added later in the 1800s, reflecting changing architectural tastes of that era.
The baptismal font features stone cherubs supporting a sandstone basin, a work by the Dutch artist Cornelius van Mander from the 1600s. This treasured piece continues to define the interior character of the church with its refined craftsmanship.
The church belongs to the Schleswig parish within the Lutheran church district of Schleswig-Flensburg in Northern Germany. Visitors should check opening times and watch for services or events that may affect access to the building.
The organ facade was created by Ahasver Schütze in 1687 and houses a modern instrument by Karl Schuke featuring 26 registers. This blend of historic artistic framing and contemporary organ building makes the instrument a distinctive feature of the interior.
