The Angerdorf Löhsten (district of Elbe-Elster) is on the federal highway 87 and is the first place after the Brandenburg state border coming from Saxony. In the south-east of the wide, oval Angers stands the pretty half-timbered church, opposite it one of the oldest inns in the region, an imposing two-story half-timbered building from the mid-18th century under a high half-hipped roof. The village "Lesne" appears for the first time in a document in 1251; A parish church in the village, which was dedicated to Saint John and Saint Barbara, is expressly mentioned at that time. During the Thirty Years' War in 1637 the town was burned down. The church, too, falls victim to the flames. Towards the end of the 17th century, on the initiative of the Saxon Elector Johann Georg II, the deserted Feldmark was resettled. A half-timbered church that was built at that time and was probably provisional was replaced in 1777 by today's church building.
