St. Remigius, Evangelical Lutheran fieldstone church in Albersdorf, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
St. Remigius is a medieval stone church in Albersdorf, Schleswig-Holstein, marked by its neo-Gothic tower clad in wood. The interior opens into a simple rectangular hall with a wooden beam ceiling, while the walls still show traces of old plaster layers.
The first written records date from 1281, though the building itself likely arose around 1200. A round tower once stood on the west side before being replaced by the current structure.
The church is dedicated to Remigius, bishop of Reims, and was first recorded under that name in 1281. A late Gothic bronze font, attributed to the Klinghe workshop and usually dated around 1470, shows the baptism of Jesus, Mary with the child, the apostles and Saint Catherine under pointed arches, carried by four figures of Saint George. A 15th-century iron-bound offering chest cut from a tree trunk, fitted with several locks, still collects the collection.
The church office at Kapellenplatz 3 opens Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 to 11 in the morning for inquiries. Access to the interior can be arranged through the office or during services.
The tower clock has a dial made entirely of wood, the only one of its kind in Schleswig-Holstein. A late Gothic bronze baptismal font from 1470 shows finely worked biblical scenes still clearly visible today.
