Dorfkirche Bretsch

The church features a massive stone construction with a western cross tower, matching width nave, and a recessed rectangular chancel with a sacristy.

The field stone church building was constructed during the second half of the 12th century and underwent modifications to its bell openings and windows.

The interior contains four figure tombstones near the triumphal arch, including memorials for Christofer von Eimbeck and Dorothea von Barsewisch from around 1600.

The church stands within a field stone wall enclosure along the village street, near a manor house that dates back to the 13th century.

The basement originally served as a burial vault for the von Eimbeck and von der Schulenburg families until its closure in 1875.
