Evangelical Church Güsen

Built in the years 1680 to 1700, the Protestant church of Güsen stands at the northern end of the main street Breiter Weg. It replaced a medieval stone field church, which was probably destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. The building consists of the nave, which was built in timber frame construction, and the Romanesque-inspired church tower made of bricks with an eight-sided pointed helmet.
The slender, square, neo-Romanesque brick tower with an eight-sided pointed helmet was added in 1878/79, after the former truss tower had been demolished a year earlier.
The nave is in the south, a lobby, also in half-timbered style added. The ship and vestibule carry a tiled three-sided hipped roof, the spire is covered with slates. The church interior has a vaulted ceiling, on the west and north side galleries are attached. The altarpiece is adorned with almost life-size figures depicting the risen Christ with Peter and Paul. God is depicted in the beamed tower pediment. Together with the pulpit these furnishings come from the time of the start of construction. The baptismal font, designed as a goblet, dates back to Roman times, there is a bell cast in Magdeburg in 1597 and the small organ was built in 1850. Behind the altar are two tombstones from the years 1720 and 1729 set up.

Well preserved church worth visiting.
