The village church Nostorf is a church of the parish of Zweedorf in the parish of Mecklenburg of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany . It is located in Nostorf in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
history
On October 2, 1483, the Ratzeburg bishop Johannes von Parkentin consecrated a chapel on the site of today's church as Filia of St. George's Church in Zweedorf in honor of St. Lawrence . The certificate issued about it was discovered by workers in 1863 during renovation work under the stone altar of the chapel in the ground. It was located in a glass cylinder and was walled up again under the new altar with a new document in the same year.
As part of this work, the chapel was converted into a neo-Gothic brick church with a choir closure from the dodecagon. In the north wall there is a remnant of the wall from the original chapel, which can be recognized by the alternation between Wendish and Polish associations .
The originally free-standing wooden bell tower was replaced by a brick tower in 1904. One of the bells included was dated 1591, the other still contained an Old Slavic inscription. In 1944 both bells were transported away to be melted down and were lost in the Hamburg bell cemetery. A new bell was purchased as early as the mid-1950s.
In 1999 the roof of the tower and the nave as well as two outer pillars and the cemetery wall surrounding the churchyard were renewed with patronage funds and a grant from the Nostorf community. By 2006 the interior of the building, the organ and the installation of an electronic bell had been extensively renovated.
Furnishing
Inside, under a flat wooden and beamed ceiling with ornaments in red, blue and beige, there is a triptych altar on a stone altar table with a wood-carved altar screen and a richly decorated pulpit with a sound cover. The Friese organ with four registers and attached pedal, built in 1890, was operated with a bellows until 2005. As part of the general overhaul by the master organ builder Arnold from Plau am See, the conversion to an electronic wind generator took place. Various grave slabs are embedded in the floor in the area of the altar.
