Very beautiful old church

The church hall is spanned by a beamed ceiling. The three-sided gallery and the pulpit date from the time of construction. The colorfully painted wooden statue of the Madonna in the choir, originally from a no longer existing carved altar, dates to around 1460. The altarpiece and the painting of the blessing Christ on the west gallery date from 1898 by the genre painter Günther. On the walls of the church hall hang several small oil paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries: Lazarus' Resurrection, Mary with the Child, the Flagellation of Christ, and a legend painting.[7] The church has two bells. The smaller one, with a diameter of 0.88 m, dates from the 13th century. The larger one, with a diameter of 1.10 m, bears the inscription Sit tempestatum per me omne genus fugatum ("May every kind of storm be driven away by me," leonine hexameter) in capital letters, with the prayer Ave Maria below.

The church, located on a ridge on the banks of the Saale River, was built between 1840 and 1844 according to a design by Friedrich August Stüler in the neo-Romanesque round-arch style from the local reddish sandstone. This new building was financed by a donation from the Prussian King Frederick William IV. It was built on the same site, but larger and on a more secure foundation. For this purpose, the cemetery and its surrounding wall were also leveled.[3] It is a squat rectangular building with a semicircular, windowless apse in the east and a slender, square west tower. Baldachin-like, open entrance halls flank the tower on the north and south sides. Flat pillars topped with pinnacles are located at the corners of the nave.
