Rabenkirchen - St. Marien
Rabenkirchen was first mentioned in the tax book of Danish King Valdemar II (aka "Valdemar the Conqueror") in 1231.
A legend tells that monks trying to find a suitable place for a church, asked Virgin Mary for a sign, whereupon she sent two ravens, which settled on the hill away from the village. Others believe, that this was a heathenly cultplace - and the legendary birds were Odin's ravens Hugin and Munin.
The church dates back to the 12th century. Initially, the Romanesque fieldstone church had a single nave with a square choir.
The original choir was replaced by a larger late Gothic choir in the 15th century. Also in the 15th century, the brick tower was built.
