In the middle of the village, and yet surrounded by greenery, stands the venerable village church of Spören, with its two districts Spören and Prussendorf, dating from the Romanesque period.
The Protestant parish belongs to the parish of Zörbig.

It was built on a natural elevation around the year 1170. It is therefore visible from afar and invites people to attend church services.
As the old church is characterized by excellent acoustics, concert performances always promise a special experience.

The church has an Opus 262 organ, built in 1904 by the Wilhelm Rühlmann company.

For over 50 years, i.e. for more than half of its existence, it has been played by the local organist, Mrs. Marlene Duckstein, in church services almost every Sunday. Furthermore, inside the church there is a hand-carved altar of Mary by the Leipzig master painter Heinrich from 1489.

The parish, including Bessarabian Germans (the Bessarabian Germans are a German ethnic group within the Black Sea Germans who lived in Bessarabia (today's Moldova and Ukraine) between 1814 and 1940), has in recent years completely renovated the church inside and out with great financial resources and volunteer work.

The Romanesque Road leads directly through the town of Spören. Nevertheless, the Romanesque Spören Church is not a designated object of this cultural trail. Of course, the Spören Church cannot and does not want to be measured or compared with the church buildings in Naumburg, Landsberg, Magdeburg or on the Petersberg. But it is precisely the simple, plain beauty of this village church that can convey to the people of our time something of peace and security in a faith that has conveyed hope since time immemorial and has allowed people to face their days with confidence. can be tackled.
