First church
The first church was built in the 12th century under Bishop Vizelin and was one of the first churches in eastern Holstein . Called churches. It was built on a former thing site , reminiscent of the thing oak . The first church was (most likely) a Romanesque- style building made of fieldstones connected with plaster of paris , similar to the Vizelinkirchen in Neukirchen and Ratekau .
The patronage for this church, built around 1147, was given to the Lübeck Cathedral Chapter in 1197 . In the 14./15. In the 18th century it passed to the owners of the Glasau moated castle, which was demolished in 1837. In 1629 a fire broke out in the smithy near the church due to carelessness in which large parts of the village and the church burned down.
Second church today
The necessary rebuilding of the church took place after 1629, with a (longer) new building being built on the old foundations. Instead of a church tower, a wooden campanile was built separately - the construction of the new church can also be timed through the new cast bells in 1649 and 1650.
In 1865 the church was renovated by the Glasauer squire and church patron Eugen von Reventlow . On this occasion the church tower was built and the wooden bell tower was demolished. In 2008 the church was renovated again.
Others
