The first mention of a church at this location can be traced back to 1255. The Gothic brick building on this site was built in the 13th and 14th centuries, but has constantly been changed and enlarged throughout the years. In 1944 a bomb hit the church's steeple and destroyed the dome. Luckily, most of the valuable interior was saved and from 1951-1953 the Protestant church was restored to its former glory and given a new steeple-top. The inside of the church is unimposing despite its decorative and valuable decor. There are three altars dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. A real treasure is the remarkable organ, built by Arp Schnittger in the late 17th century. Even Johann Sebastian Bach played it, and it was carefully renovated after the Second World War.
