history

The medieval church of Strücklingen, the building history of which is unknown, was demolished in 1877. The services were then initially held in an emergency church . The new church was built between 1899 and 1900; the architect was Hilger Hertel the Younger .

description

The three-aisled step hall with transept and west tower was built in the neo-Gothic style from red brick with ashlar structure . The retracted, polygonal closed choir is equipped with a star vault . In addition to the broad transverse arms, there are narrower yokes with a gable roof , on the western yoke of the nave there are side chapels with a tent roof . The wide crossing gives the impression of a central building inside .

Furnishing

Some of the furnishings come from the time the new church was built. Several carvings from the old church were integrated into the choir screens.

Bells

In 1920 the renowned Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen supplied two bronze bells weighing 1.3 tons.
