Village Church Rädigke

On the main street in Rädigke you will find the small stone church. Surrounded by a green and wooded cemetery, the church dates from the 13th century, although much of the building was rebuilt or rebuilt in the late 19th century. You can see it particularly clearly in the enlarged windows with their brick arches.

The exact construction date of the church is not known. Based on the execution, experts assume that the building was built in the last quarter of the 12th century or in the first quarter of the 13th century. The Dehio manual gives the first half of the 13th century as the period of construction. The master builders were Flemish settlers who were looking for a building site close to a castle complex, which was destroyed during the Hussite wars. The church was first mentioned in a document in 1450. In 1841 the parish acquired an organ from Gottfried Wilhelm Baer. In 1858 she renovated the interior. In 1903, bricklayers enlarged the south windows and framed them - like the windows on the north side - with bricks. At the same time, the municipality renovated the western wall and had a church tower built. In 1965 the interior was renovated again.
