Town Church Neuhaus am Rennweg

The Neuhäuser Church is one of the largest wooden churches in Thuringia. It was inaugurated on August 28, 1892. In 1673, a small baroque church was built on a corner of the hunting lodge (today the city administration). In addition to the small community, this was used by the state father, Count Albert-Anton von Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt and his wife, Countess Aemilie-Juliane. The Schmalenbuche parish was founded in 1683.

My home.... one of the most beautiful churches 🦊🙏

The wooden "town church" is the second in Neuhaus am Rennsteig. The first wooden church, consecrated in 1673, was demolished in 1894.

On my rainy day of hiking I got a personal tour from the pastor, as no other visitors were registered. Here I was given extensive and heartfelt facts. Since I was completely soaked, I was even offered warm tea.
