Jakobikirche (Bäntorf)
The Jakobikirche in Bäntorf is an Evangelical Lutheran church in the Hildesheim-Göttingen district of the Evangelical Lutheran regional church of Hanover .
History of the parish
The parish in Bäntorf had been connected to the neighboring Brünnighausen as a mater combinata since 1568 . Until 1819 it was part of the County of Spiegelberg . After the purchase of the county by the Kingdom of Hanover, the church was assigned to the Münder Inspection in 1821 . In 1867 she came to the Oldendorf Inspection .
In 1963 the parishes of Brünnighausen and Bäntorf were merged to form the parish of Brünnighausen-Bäntorf.
Church building
The church with a rectangular nave made of sandstone ashlar with a retracted chancel and a three-sided apse with a rounded interior was built around 1280. The coupled pointed arch windows were redesigned in the course of the restoration under Conrad Wilhelm Hase in the 1880s. During a thorough renovation, the church received a new roof turret in 1964/65.
The originally vaulted ceiling was replaced by a flat beam ceiling. Inside the apse is blocked by a pulpit altar (around 1810).
