Lower church of St. Nicholas, Burg

The 12th century granite cubiform building has survived almost completely intact and is an impressive example of the austere monumentality of Romanesque architecture.

Only fragments of the chalk font remain of the Romanesque furnishings; they were reassembled in 2001. An important mediaeval monument is now to be found in the southern side apse: the engraved tomb plate of a priest who died in 1321. All of the church’s windows and doors have round arches, and the interior is embellished with wooden barrel vaulting. The sandstone pulpit dates from 1610, and the wooden altar top with paintings and carved figures from 1699. On the northern exterior is the oldest surviving gravestone from 1321.
