St.-Cosmas-und-Damian-Kirche

The St.-Cosmas-und-Damian-Kirche stands on raised ground with exterior walls made of carved granite boulders and an interior layer of bricks and limestone.

Construction of the church began in 1230, and after a lightning-caused fire in 1630, renovations included adding an oak baptismal font and replacing the vaulted ceiling.

The church contains a 1817 oil painting of Christ on the Cross by Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert and features stained glass windows designed by Bremen artist Heinz Lilienthal.

The bell tower stands eleven meters northwest of the main church building and contains two bells cast in 1507 and 1619.

The church organ, built between 1721 and 1722 under Christian Vater's guidance, features 19 registers across two manuals and one pedal.
