    The church in Zuschendorf is particularly popular with bridal couples. Weddings are limited, so the demand here is all the greater.

      The building, constructed between 1559 and 1560, is a simple hall church with two wooden galleries built into the hillside long side, as well as an organ loft. In 1680, following devastation during the Thirty Years' War, the church was rebuilt and connected to the castle, and the tower was also built. The winged altar and epitaphs from the period have been preserved.

        A church was built on the spot where the altar stands today as early as 1560.
        The church was extended in 1628. A stone embedded in the tower wall bears witness to this. The baptismal font, which is still in use today and bears the year 1636, dates from this period. After the terrible devastation of Zuschendorf in the Thirty Years' War, the church was completely rebuilt in 1680, connected to the castle by a corridor and decorated with a tower. This reconstruction cost 864 thalers, 15 groschen and 6 pfennigs. A small bell called the congregation to worship.


        Since then, the beautiful ensemble of manor house and church, which is worth preserving, has existed.
