The construction history of the church, which is medieval at its core, is unclear. The church tower and nave were built at different times. The church was remodeled between 1541 and 1577. The nave's current appearance, with its mansard roof and the staircase to the galleries on the south side, was largely acquired in the 18th century. The mansard roof of the nave has a chamfered eaves. The church tower to the west has four stories and features tracery windows from the 15th century in its upper sections. The hall church has a recessed, three-sided chancel. Around 1787, the church underwent extensive renovations. The tower received its bulbous cupola, topped by an open lantern crowned with a finial. The interior of the nave and chancel was unified into a single space by a shared barrel vault. The base of a groin vault remains in the chancel. A simple pulpit dates from 1792. The round-arched opening to the groin-vaulted tower has been bricked up. On the ground floor of the tower are carved figures from a late Gothic winged altarpiece: a bishop, Saint Margaret, Saint John, an unknown saint, Saint Barbara and Saint Bartholomew, as well as three busts of apostles. The organ was built in 1922 by the Petersilie company from Gotha. (Source: Wikipedia)

Old stone signpost!

Ilfeld is a charming resort town in the southern Harz region. It lies within a protected landscape area and is also called the "Gateway to the Harz" due to its location.

Beautiful relaxed bike path along the country road

There are also some seating options available at the edge!

The city gate of Neustadt was built from rubble stone in the 15th century.

Unfortunately, this beautiful path towards Breitenworbis is currently closed (July 25, 2024). The diversion is signposted, but has a barrier (!) on the descent and then actually continues on the bypass road that the cycle path should actually avoid. This is only for the fearless!🤯

You almost feel like you've been transported back to the Middle Ages as you walk over the cobblestones toward the old city gate. The gate was once part of Neustadt's city fortifications. It was built in the 15th century, but the half-timbered structure wasn't added until around 1680. Source: https://www.harzlife.de/bilder/neustadt-altes-stadttor.html
