Feldsteinkirche from the 13th century with west tower. A little higher up in a churchyard
December 19, 2019
The fieldstone church in Dennewitz is a Gothic building with Baroque furnishings. The priest "Fridericus de Danewiz" was first mentioned in 1174, which suggests a wooden predecessor. The façade of the present building was built around 1300 as a Gothic rectangular hall. The tower was added in the 14th/15th centuries without any connection to the church interior and was raised in the Middle Ages. This is evident in the varying masonry. During a church renovation in the 19th century, the nave was extended to the east and the church enlarged. It wasn't until 1900 that the walls and ceilings were ornamented.
