: ''This article is about the German town. For the manufacturer of drill bits, see Varel International.'' Varel ((:ˈfaːʁəl)) is a town in the district of Friesland, in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is situated near the Jade River and the Jade Bight, approximately south of Wilhelmshaven and north of Oldenburg. == Castle church == The castle church is the oldest building in Varel. The first part of the church is believed to have been built in 1144.〔http://varel.de/schlosskirche.php〕 The tower was added between 1200 and 1250, originally as twin towers, which were rebuilt in today's form first in 1651 and then in 1737. The altar, font and pulpit were carved in 1613 – 1618 by Ludwig Münstermann. The altar is nearly high and is one of the main works of Northern German Mannerism. Before the Protestant Reformation, the patron saint was Saint Peter. Today, the castle church is a Lutheran church, with no patron saint. The church was formerly one of the buildings of the castle, which was demolished in the 19th century soon after a fire destroyed most parts of it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Varel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
