Michaeliskirche, Kirchengebäude in Kaltenkirchen, Kreis Segeberg, Schleswig-Holstein
The Michaeliskirche is a church in Kaltenkirchen, Schleswig-Holstein, featuring a round tower from the 12th century and a nave constructed from granite and brick. The main building was completely rebuilt in 1879 in neogothic style with a cross-shaped floor plan and rounded apse.
A church occupied this site since the 13th century but was destroyed during the 1600s and rebuilt in 1656. After a structural failure in 1873, the entire building was reconstructed in 1879 in neogothic style and has undergone several renovations since then.
The Michaeliskirche serves as a gathering place where locals come for worship, weddings, baptisms, and concerts throughout the year. It anchors the community's spiritual and social life, drawing people together for both religious services and local celebrations.
The church sits in the town center of Kaltenkirchen and is easily reached on foot or by bike. The entrance faces a quiet churchyard where visitors can find parking or take a break before or after entering.
A large lamp from 1608 hangs from the ceiling inside, displaying the craftsmanship of centuries past. The organ built in 1880 was carefully restored in 1996 to recover its original warm sound and full voice.
