    Tips

    The church in Gleina was probably built around 1220 to 1250 as a Romanesque chapel. When the windows were enlarged after the Reformation, the interior got more light. In 1785 the organ builder Christian Friedrich Poppe from Roda built a valuable late baroque organ there, which originally came from the palace chapel in Köstritz. In 1801 the reconstruction took place in the present form and equipped with a cross altar, order of the women's chairs and the gallery. In 1932 and 1986 the church was restored by painting.
    In the small church tower hangs a bell from 1764, cast by Heinrich Friedrich Wärkherr zu Gera, with the inscription of the patroness of the church: "Maria Eleonora Emilia, widowed Reussin, countess and mistress of Plauen, née Freyin v. Promnitz, and Heinrich VI . Younger Count Reuss and Mr. von Plauen. After six anxious years of war, God lets us experience a lot of good. " A second, smaller bell from 1815 no longer exists today.
