The Vicelinkirche Pronstorf (also field stone church Pronstorf ) in Pronstorf ( Segeberg district in Schleswig-Holstein ) is one of the East Holstein field stone churches from the 12th century. Similar churches called " Vicelinkirchen " are the Petrikirche in Bosau , the Vicelinkirche in Ratekau , the St. Laurentius Church in Süsel and the St. Johannis Church in Neukirchen .

history

The church was first mentioned in 1198 and is located on a hill in the middle of the village of Pronstorf, surrounded by a cemetery .

It is a single-nave hall church built in the Romanesque style with a long choir and a round tower. The church was predominantly of boulders built and has one with tiles roofed gable roof . The east side of the choir and some supporting pillars were built from bricks .

The tower is supported on the western side by three retaining walls made of field stones - above these three retaining walls the original field stone masonry was replaced by bricks , which is secured by numerous cross anchors . In the front area of ​​the tower there is an opening in which there is an hour bell.

The originally existing apse was removed in the 14th century when the choir was lengthened; this later measure also led to the larger windows in the eastern area of ​​the choir.

In 1958 the church was extensively renovated.
