Church in Skassa.

Information:

A first church was mentioned in 1495, described as dilapidated around 1677, and a new one was built in the Rococo style in 1756. Building materials from the previous church were reused in its construction. The interior was extensively renovated in 1958 (for its 200th anniversary). Much of the work was carried out by the community. Exterior restoration was completed by 1966.

Adam Friedrich Zürner worked in Skassa at the beginning of the 18th century as a pastor and cartographer, the latter first as a hobby, later as a land and border commissioner and finally as a Saxon electoral and Polish royal geographer. He completed the survey of the Electorate of Saxony begun by Öder in the 16th century and introduced the post mile columns. In the church there is a small exhibition about Zürner and his vicarage, where he lived from 1705-22, is now a hostel for pilgrims.
