The church is subject to the patronage of Saints Catherine and Lorenz. The brick building stands on a base made of field stone and was essentially built in the first half of the 14th century. The place and the Toitenwinkel castle were ruled by the knights of Moltke from the 13th century to the 17th century , numerous monuments of which are located in the former patronage church .

The rectangular choir with two bays , with buttresses and front gable is largely unchanged and as wide as the central nave . The nave was originally a three- bay step hall . During the renovation in 1889, it was expanded into a basilica based on designs by Georg Daniel . The middle yoke of the aisles was raised like a transept and all windows were renewed. The windows in the walls of the side aisle are ogival, those in the upper aisle are segmented. At the same time, the neo-Gothic west tower was built.

The choir and nave are divided by a pointed triumphal arch . The richly structured pillars and arches of the original hall church are still preserved in the interior . Wooden ceilings were drawn into the three naves, the bundle pillars and the arcades are medieval. In the choir rests a groin vault with pear ribs over semicircular services with cup-shaped capitals . The vault and wall paintings from the second half of the 14th century in the choir were extensively renewed during the renovation in 1889. Representations from the Old and New Testament can be seen on two wall friezes . Passion scenes, the coronation of Mary, the Last Judgment , and various saints and apostles are depicted in the vaults . In the window screen on the north side there is a representation of Christophorus .

Furnishing

Grand piano retable

  • The grand piano retable from around 1480 was probably made in a Rostock workshop. It is related to the reredos in the church in Bentwisch . The shrine is adorned with eight carved figures depicting a Calvary scene. To the side of this, six figures of the apostles stand in two rows one above the other; the wings show a total of 20 figures of saints. Only remains of the paintings on the wings have survived. When the inner wings are closed, scenes of passion can be seen; Of the original four saints, only Lorenz and Katharina have survived. The predella is painted and equipped with half-figures of the Church Fathers and the Man of Sorrows .
