Kalkhorst- St. Laurentius

Kalkhorst- St. Laurentius
The parish of Kalkhorst is mentioned in 1230 in a list of villages belonging to the Ratzeburg diocese At the same time the village church of Kalkhorst was built. It was erected by the lords of the village.

The church of today stands out because of the irregularity of its ground plan and the many additions and alterations. The square tower stands asymmetrically in front.

The choir is dated to around 1350 based on an epitaph and replaced a previous building. The nave is attributed to the 13th century, so it is the older part of the building. The baroque furnishings from the beginning of the 18th century.

The late gothic fresco of the choir. The resurrection of Jesus (watched by a king and a bishop) and the "Arma Christi".
