History and architecture

A church in Warin was built before 1233 under Bishop Brunward . It was demolished in 1874 and replaced by the current church.

The town church Warin is a uniform building according to a design by Theodor Krüger from the years 1874 to 1878 in yellowish brick with a polygonal choir and also polygonal closed transept arms in the style of a trikonchos . A slender staggered west tower and a roof turret accentuate the exterior of the building. The building is decoratively structured by window and portal walls, tracery friezes and gable ends made of red brick.

The interior of the choir is lavishly painted and finished with a ribbed vault. The end of the nave and transept is formed by a polygonal broken wooden ceiling with consoles and rib-like wooden struts. The crossing arches are made of brickwork.

The church was threatened with decay for a long time, but has been restored since 1992 with the help of the church building association Warin eV .

Furnishing

The equipment comes from the construction period. An altar painting by Gaston Lenthe from 1853 shows the blessing Christ. The font was made in 1869. A crucifix has been preserved from the 15th century. Two late medieval tombstones with inscriptions were placed for pastors Nikolaus Möller († 1497) and Johannes Runghe († 1503). In 1998, four new bronze bells were cast in the art and bell foundry Lauchhammer and hung in the renovated bell cage.
