history
There was already a chapel in Hüllhorst in the High Middle Ages . As a subsidiary church of the Andreas Church in Lübbeck , its patronage was probably taken over. The elevation to the parish took place between the 14th and 16th centuries . The exact time is not known, the founding year 1310, which has been handed down from the 17th century, cannot be proven.
The building history of the old St. Andrew's Church is largely unknown. The tower bears the year 1592, but it is unclear whether this denotes the year of construction. In 1712 the nave was extended to the north after the parishes of Büttendorf and Ahlsen had been incorporated into Hüllhorst. In 1869 the church was demolished except for the tower.
Today's church
In 1870 construction began on the new three-aisled hall church in neo-Gothic style with a choir and sacristy . Initially, only the central nave extended to the tower. The consecration took place on May 14, 1871. Reconstruction plans from 1913 and 1936 were not implemented. From 1955 to 1959 an extensive renovation took place, in which in 1956 the side aisles were extended by a yoke to the west up to the tower, so that the nave is now rectangular.
Tower and bells
The sound holes on the tower are flat arched . On the west side there is an entrance with the year 1592.
The Andreas Church has a total of six bells . In the tower, resurrection bell , prayer bell maid bell and baptism bell , all in the bell foundry Brothers Rincker of bronze were cast and consecrated in 1957 as part of the church reconstruction. In addition, on the west side of the spire, there are two chiming bells, one below the other, dating from 1992.
