History and architecture
The Lindow village church is a flat-roofed hall church made of field stone with a transverse rectangular western building of the same width, which was started towards the end of the 13th century. Inside, it is prepared with shield arches for a vault in two yokes. Simple field stone portals in the west and south open up the structure. The well-proportioned east gable is divided into brick with stepped panels. The timber-framed roof tower from the 18th century was demolished in 1971/72, since then the church has been covered with a continuous gable roof, the old roof structure dendrochronologically dated to 1607. The south side is designed as a viewing side with windows with profiled brick walls and twin panels between the windows. The windows were enlarged in the 19th century and the window tracery was renewed. Support pillars were subsequently added to the west wall.
