The St. Catherine's Church in Knesebeck is impressive not only because of its size (it looks almost like a small cathedral for a village), but also because of its close connection with the local nobility. It is a classic example of neo-Gothic style. Typical features are the red brick, the high pointed-arch windows and the imposing, 42-meter-high tower, which is visible far beyond the flat land near Wittingen. Before this building was erected, there was a much smaller, medieval fieldstone church. However, as Knesebeck grew steadily and was a wealthy "Amtsdorf" (administrative village), a more representative church was desired.
