With its tall, slender tower, the village church of Dissen is visible from afar – a striking landmark in the vast Lusatian landscape. Those coming from the local history museum will find it directly opposite, and it's worth pausing for a moment.
The Protestant church was built in its current form at the end of the 19th century, but the half-timbering on the nave side is reminiscent of earlier construction phases. The contrast of red brick, black beams, and white window frames is almost picturesque – a typical example of Brandenburg brick architecture with a local influence.
The tower, with its pointed spire and clock, gives the church an almost urban feel – one senses that Dissen was once a regionally important town. The interior of the church is simple but welcoming. If you're lucky and happen by at the right time, you can take a look inside – especially worthwhile during one of the concerts or community events.
