      St. Bartholomäus is a single-nave hall building from the late Gothic period. The construction work began in 1488, I was using load-bearing parts of a previous building. This construction phase was completed in 1502. Regardless of the Reformation that took place in Themar in 1544, the church has been redesigned since 1541: the beams in the galleries with "beard man's heads" are a rarity. The house of God contains a particularly rich equipment, among other things. with four valuable altars.

      From 1668 to 1684 Georg Christoph Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach's eldest uncle, was cantor at the town church.

        The listed St. Bartholomew Church is the town church of the Thuringian city of Themar.
        The city church of Themar is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew.
        It is one of the richest churches in the upper Werra Valley.
        It is one of the few buildings in the small town on the Werra, which has historically been documented since 796 and which has survived all the storms of time.
        The upper church at the upper gate and the lower church at the Werra were the first places of worship in the village. Remains of the Romanesque lower church are still preserved in the sacristy and the two lower floors of the church tower above.
