Building history and description

Previous construction

Originally the church was a two-bay Romanesque hall building . In the transition period from the Romanesque to the Gothic , it was expanded to include a choir and a transept , resulting in a cross-shaped floor plan. The windows were arched , in the southern cross arm there was a arched portal .

The old church was demolished in 1872. The originally Romanesque west tower , built in the 13th century with a Gothic upper floor, has been preserved.

New Church

From 1869 to 1874, a larger neo-Gothic church was built on the same site according to plans by the architect Johann Bernhard Hensen . It is a three-aisled hall church with a three-bay nave , transept and polygonal choir. The wide lancet windows are equipped with tracery . The stained glass on the south transept window dates from 1912 and shows Ludwig Windthorst and the house where he was born on Gut Caldenhof, which belongs to Ostercappeln .

Furnishing

Numerous art objects in the church come from the previous building. The oldest piece is the late Romanesque font from the middle of the 13th century. A wooden triumphal cross dates back to the late 14th century, a crucifix made of sandstone from the 15th century. A wooden figure of John the Baptist was made around 1510 in the workshop of Evert van Rodens , a Madonna with baby Jesus and an Anna the third also date from the beginning of the 16th century.

organ

The history of the organs in St. Lambertus goes back to the 17th century. In 1737 the organ builder Christian Vater (Hanover) built an instrument of which three stops are still available today. In 1876 the organ builder Haupt (Ostercappeln) built a new instrument, of which nine registers are still available today. Today's organ was built in 1992 by the organ builder Führer (Wilhelmshaven) using parts of the old organs. The instrument has 31 stops on two manuals and a pedal . The playing and stop actions are mechanical.
