Tips from the Community
The Marienkirche Ahrensbök is the oldest building in the community and the only surviving building of the former Ahrensbök Carthusian monastery. The church is surrounded by a cemetery. It is a Gothic building, approximately 40 m long and 20 m wide, made of red brick on a foundation of hewn field stones, with pointed arch windows and a gable roof covered with roof tiles. In 1328, a parish church was founded by Count Johann III in place of the Marienkapelle. The oldest parts of the current church date from this period. In 1408, the church finally became the monastery church of the Ahrensbök Carthusian monastery, founded in 1387, and remained so until the monastery was dissolved in 1564. The current baroque church tower was built in 1760/61. In 1883, the interior of the church was completely redesigned. Inside the church, on the south wall, is the Ahrensbök Cross - a 3.07 m high cross made of Gotland limestone, which is located on a 1.25 m high gravestone of the Rose family, also made of Gotland limestone. It is considered the most important cross of its kind in Schleswig-Holstein. Originally, the cross was on the northern outer wall of the church. Since 2019, there have been three bronze bells in the tower, which were cast by the Klokkengieterij Eijsbouts from Asten. They have the strike tones e1, g1, a1. Until April 2019, three chilled iron bells from the Ulrich & Weule foundry had hung in the tower since 1919, as after the First World War no bronze bells could be afforded to replace the older bells that had fallen victim to the metal donation from the German people. These chilled iron bells were already in very poor condition at the end of the 20th century and were taken out of the tower in April 2019 and placed in front of the church. The chimes of the chilled iron bells are the same as the new bells. A bell cast by Heinrich von Kampen from 1510 with a tracery frieze, the donor's coat of arms and an image of John the Baptist has also been preserved. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marienkirche_(Ahrensb%C3%B6k)

Built in 1328 and later supplemented by a choir and a side aisle. The renovations were carried out due to the founding of a monastery in Ahrensbök. This was later demolished, but fortunately only the church was preserved. The foundation of the church is made of field stones.
