"Almost 100 meters east of the castle is the village church. Its foundation walls date back to the 13th century. [...] The choir room, equipped with cell and net vaults, was built around 1515, presumably with the help of a pupil of Arnold von Westphalia. Hans Köhler the elder from Meißen created the altar, pulpit and baptismal font around 1600. The roof turret has crowned the church tower since 1625/26. The Pirna painter Jonas Eiwigk designed the coffered ceiling around 1650. The galleries were built in 1726. The mechanical tower clock from 1787 is still in use today neo-Gothic style followed in 1849 and 1865 to 1867. The coffered ceiling, baptismal font, pulpit and altar were restored from 1992. Today, the church is under the parish of Burkhardswalde-Tanneberg, and six surrounding villages belong to the community.The parish on Schulstrasse was also run as a church property during the GDR era. It has been leased for ecological management since 1989. In 2009 the company received the Organic Farming Award. "- de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taubenheim_(Klipphausen)#Kirche
