St. Lucia (Wulsbüttel)
The St. Lucia Church is an Evangelical Lutheran church building in Wulsbüttel , a village in the municipality of Hagen in the Bremen district of Cuxhaven in Lower Saxony .
history
The Romanesque church in Wulsbüttel was built around the year 1200. However, it burned down shortly afterwards as a result of armed conflicts and was rebuilt around 1240. Today's tower, made of wood, was added around 1300. It was rebuilt in 1819. In the 14th or 15th century, the roof was covered with fired tile pans. Between 1970 and 1972 the church was extensively renovated.
On January 1, 2015 the parish of St. Lucia zu Wulsbüttel merged with the parish of St. Nicolai zu Uthlede to form the parish of Uthlede / Wulsbüttel.
