The Evangelical Church of St. Ägidius is a listed church building that stands in Burghaslach, a market town in the district of Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim (Middle Franconia, Bavaria).The nave of today's hall church was built around 1718. The choir tower from 1733/34 was renewed in 1903 in neo-baroque style. It is divided into four storeys by storey cornices. Its top floor houses the tower clock and the belfry in which six church bells hang. On top sits a slated, eight-sided curved dome with a lantern. The sacristy is attached to the north side of the choir tower. Next to it is a stair tower as access to the two-story galleries.After lightning strikes in 1806 and 1817, extensive renovations were carried out in 1835.The neo-baroque façade was designed by Theodor Eyrich in 1903. The organ with 27 registers, two manuals and a pedal was built in 1982 by Hey Orgelbau.From 1949 the church was also made available to the Catholic community, which had grown significantly due to war refugees.Source: wikipedia.org
