St. Laurentius (Loburg)
The Laurentiuskirche is today's local church of Loburg .
history
It once stood in the village of Möckernitz, from which the town of Loburg emerged in the Middle Ages. There was a church there as early as the 10th century, but it was destroyed during the Slav uprising of 983. In 1212, the reconstruction in the Romanesque style was completed. The rectangular substructure of the church tower is still preserved from this time. First conversions took place during the time of Gothic , as the three-aisled nave and the chancel newly emerged. The pointed arch windows in the east wall of the chancel remain from this era.
In 1569, the manor owner Eustachius von Wulffen , who lived in Loburg, initiated another extensive renovation. First, all the gables were decorated with spiral-shaped steps in the style of the Dutch Renaissance , and the tower was provided with the three spikes that still give it a striking appearance today. From 1581 the nave was converted into a hall building, which was completed with a wooden barrel vault with attached rib decorations. Further changes were made in 1737, for example the nave windows were lengthened and galleries were built. In 1747 a rectory was built northeast of the church .
Furnishing
The ceiling of the church is painted with the coats of arms of noble families who formerly owned in Loburg. On the walls are several epitaphs, including a simple, painted wooden plaque for a Jobst von Randow , his wife and six of his children, who all died in 1551 of the "swinden pestilence".
Noteworthy pieces of equipment include the two-tiered altarpiece and the polygonal, footless pulpit with a sound cover , both of which were probably made by the same workshop at the end of the 16th century.
