St. Margarethen Kirche - Gyhum

The church in Gyhum is one of the oldest between the Weser and the Elbe. It is a single-nave fieldstone structure, Romanesque in its western section. It is about 1,000 years old, but was not first mentioned until 1420 in the Stader Kopiar. At first, it was just a small chapel dedicated to St. Margaret. In 1793, the church was extended to the east. Inside the church are coats of arms belonging to members of the von Marschalk and von Hammerstein families. 

The freestanding tower on the west side, built in half-timbered style, dates from the 18th century. It houses four bells of varying sizes. 

The Hillebrand organ features 14 sounding stops plus three transmissions across two manuals and a pedalboard. The organ’s outstanding craftsmanship and sound quality, along with the console’s meticulous workmanship, guarantee an enjoyable experience for both listening and playing.

We are a Protestant congregation served by various pastors. Please feel free to stop by sometime.
