Tips
After the destruction of the Thirty Years' War, only the rectangular choir up to and including the triumphal arch remained in Schlagenthin of a once stately Romanesque brick church influenced by the Jerichow Monastery. Inside the church there is a painted coffered ceiling. The flat wooden ceiling is divided into 6 x 6 rectangular fields in the nave and 4 x 4 in the chancel. In the chancel are angels with banners and the instruments of torture, and in the nave there are angels singing. After the fire in 1658, a separate half-timbered bell tower was built next to the church in the background. The external masonry encloses the belfry of the two oak bells.
