Ratekau - Vicelinkirche
The construction of the Vicelinkirche in Ratekau, a single-nave hall church built in Romanesque style with a choir and apse. The construction was started in 1156, after Wagria was conquered by the Holsteins in 1138/39.
Adolf II of Schauenburg and Holstein, whom Wagria was given as a fief by Henry the Lion, entrusted Vizelin with spreading Christianity among the Slavs.
At the same time he started colonization with Christian settlers.
The church was first mentioned in a document in 1234/1235, when the apse arch and vault were renewed.
The 48-meter-high round tower served as a defense tower.
