Village church Klosterfelde, Lutheran church in Klosterfelde, Germany.
Village Church Klosterfelde is a Lutheran church building in Brandenburg with a characteristic bell tower and symmetrical design on Klosterfelder Hauptstraße. The structure displays classic German ecclesiastical architecture and continues to be used for regular worship services today.
Built in the 13th century as an early Gothic fieldstone church with a recessed rectangular choir, it was extended eastward and given an apse in the 15th century; the facades were fully plastered in 1459. In 1742 the village rebuilt it in Baroque style and added the two-storey west tower with its bell-shaped slate helm. The interior was restored in 1968, the exterior in 1974, and a large renovation from 2002 to 2010 renewed the roof, tower helm and weather vane.
The parish belongs to the Evangelische Gesamtkirchengemeinde Niederbarnim in the Kirchenkreis Barnim of the EKBO, together with the churches in Stolzenhagen, Prenden, Ruhlsdorf, Marienwerder and Sophienstädt. Since 2002 the Förderverein Dorfkirche Klosterfelde e. V. has supported the congregation's work in the village, and between 2002 and 2010 it helped fund the large restoration with donors and sponsors.
The church is centrally located in Klosterfelde and is easy to find as a distinctive landmark in the area. Visitors should be aware that regular services take place and that the building is protected as a heritage monument, which may restrict access at certain times.
During the 2002–2010 restoration, the tower sphere was regilded and resealed with contemporary documents before being ceremonially replaced in spring 2004. The tower clock shows round dials on all four sides, each topped by a segmental-arched hood. The tower stands about 15 m tall on a base of roughly 5 × 7 m.
