Very nice church suitable for the cute, very clean village

Beautiful old church from the year 1300

The stone-built church around 1300 with a brick tower and neo-Gothic conversions, baptism made of cast iron, 19th century.

Nice playground next door for children

Right next to the church is the information about the place and you can sit. And there are toilets there too.

The information point of the UNESCO Natural Heritage Park provides good information about the Grumsiner Forest. It is right next to the church in Altkünkendorf.

Grumsiner distillery with tasting

Fantastic old stone church, visit is possible.

It is worth asking at the info point whether it is possible to climb the church tower. Passing the church bell, climb a wooden staircase to the top floor of the church tower. From here you have an all-round view of Altkünkendorf and you can even see the beginning of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Buchenwald Grumsin. The ascent costs two euros (as of 8/2021).

Beautiful old stone church with church garden.

Nice church on the outside, a bit unadorned inside, even for Protestant churches.
