St. Matthew's Church Spechtsbrunn

The listed church dates back to its core to a chapel, which was cared for in the late Middle Ages by the parish Marktgölitz. The chapel is occupied by a picture in the atlas of the geographer Paul Pfinzing from 1595. In 1722 the parish was built independently and in 1746/47 a new church was built according to the plans of the architect Krauße from Kahla with a floor plan of 18.5 meters in length and 9.5 meters in width. The construction costs amounted to 1423 Taler, 21 groschen and 2 ½ Pfennig (Wikipedia).

As part of a comprehensive renovation of the church in 1911, Curt Steinberg redesigned the church in full color, preserving, reconstructing and supplementing the original baroque setting.(c) Wikipedia 2018
