history
Hundeshagen owned an old church, the year of which is unknown. It stood on the site of today's village cemetery. The church patronage lay with the Cistercian convent Teistungenburg and from 1282 for more than 600 years with the knights of Westernhagen . At the beginning of the 19th century the old church was dilapidated and had to be closed in 1830.
Friedrich August Stüler designed the half-timbered church in 1843 as an emergency church with a free-standing bell house . It was 1844-45 as a gift of Frederick William IV. Built and on October 5, 1845 consecrated . A later stone construction never came about. 1962–63 the church was renovated and largely changed. The furnishings include a figure of St. Elisabeth carved around 1500. The organ with 16 registers, divided into 2 manuals and pedal, was built in 1970 by Rudolf Kühn.
