Peter and Paul Church Lüdersburg

The late Gothic brick hall church, the oldest parts of which date back to the 16th century, impresses with its historical splendour. The church tower ends in a platform surrounded by an ornate balustrade with small turrets at the corners. An eight-sided, slate-covered, pointed helmet is enthroned above it. The coat of arms of the von Wittorf family is emblazoned above the northern portal. 

Around 1700, the von Wittorf family, who owned the castle at the time, had the interior of the church designed in a uniform Baroque style. A magnificent wooden beamed ceiling has adorned the church ever since. The altar, richly decorated with statues and acanthus ornaments, catches the eye. The pulpit from 1691 is decorated with cute cherubs. The two patron saints stand on the curved, low communion bench in front of the altar: St Peter the Apostle on the left and St Paul the Apostle on the right. On the north wall is the von Wittorf family's trowel, a silent witness to their former presence.
