The organ with a richly decorated case[1] is a work by Johann Scheibe from 1745–1746 with 13 stops on one manual and pedal. It was tested in 1746 by Johann Sebastian Bach and found to be "efficient, diligent and well built". The original acceptance certificate is in the British Museum in London (Add. 33965, fol. 168–169, until 1872 in the possession of Consul General Clauss in Leipzig).[2] In 1870, the organ was moved to the lower gallery by Eduard Offenhauer and a rear organ with four stops was added. In 1954, Hermann Eule Orgelbau Bautzen returned the instrument to its original location, rearranged the rear organ and added several stops to the main organ.[2] In 2000, Eule restored the organ again and returned it to its original condition. The pedal coupler, installed in 1870, was preserved. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorfkirche_Zschortau

A carved altar with four panels and delicate, slender figures was probably created in a Halle workshop in 1517. In the predella, two high reliefs depict the birth and adoration of Christ. The shrine depicts Mary with Child and Saints Gertrude and Nicholas. The panels bear two rows of depictions of Saints Anthony, Wolfgang, Andrew, Stephen, Blaise, Catherine, Anne, Barbara, Dorothea, Margaret, and another saint. The altarpiece features important paintings by a Leipzig master influenced by Hans Baldung Grien. The left wing depicts Saints George, Maurice, Sebastian, and Christopher; the inner panels depict a bishop, James the Elder, Paul, presumably Benedict, and Bartholomew; and the right wing depicts a deacon, Pope Gregory, Ottilia, and Apollonia. The neo-Gothic sandstone baptismal font was created in the second half of the 19th century. The sandstone baptismal font was created in the second half of the 19th century.

The village church dates back to the 12th/13th century. The Romanesque, transversely rectangular west tower survives from this period. The church was rebuilt around 1500. The nave and chancel were significantly enlarged, and the sacristy was added. The church was restored in 1975. The building is constructed of quarry stone with a brick interior. Large, double-track tracery windows and buttresses characterize the exterior. A two-story sacristy is attached to the north side of the chancel. A reticulated vault with colored ribs and remnants of flame and radiant paintings at the intersections completes the interior. The hall is separated from the chancel by a pointed arch and from the tower ground floor by a rounded arch supported by imposts. Simple wooden galleries from 1870 are built on three sides. A groined vault completes the sacristy. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorfkirche_Zschortau
