The Lutheran parish church is the old village church of Brockhagen, today a borough of Steinhagen in Gütersloh County. On the outside of the northern wall is a plaque with some information about the history. The church is dedicated to St. George and was built in 1568, when Brockhagen became an independant parish. The steeple goes back to that time and is one of the few renaissance steeples in Gütersloh County, while the nave is from 1754, when the building was reconstructed and expanded. Inside there is an 18th century pulpit, an altar from 1675 and an organ from 1661. The church is open for sunday services at 10:00 am.
