Description

St. Mary Magdalene's Church in Neuenkirchen was first mentioned in 1318. The present church was probably built between 1380 and 1450. After the roof tower was destroyed in the 17th century, it was replaced with a bell tower at the west gable in 1900. Restoration work revealed, under several layers of limestone, foreign paintings that may be of Danish origin. In 1775 St Mary's Church in Bergen donated to the Neuenkirchen church a Renaissance pulpit dating from 1567.
