A lovely destination for a bike trip. Seating is available for resting.

A hall church with a recessed choir. A turret with a small spire. Inside, an altarpiece from 1514 and a formerly floating, now kneeling, baptismal font from the 18th century.

The Bismarck Tower's architectural design is similar to those in Plauen and Markneukirchen. The upper part of the tower serves as an observation deck and was reopened in 1992. On a clear day, visitors can enjoy a wonderful view all the way to the Monument to the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig and the Ore Mountains.

A fairly large church, visible from far away. It's a good place to orient yourself while cycling.

A visit is worthwhile, not only for the farm shop or the calf petting zoo. Watching the cows while enjoying coffee and cake is a special experience. We were also able to pick up a few Easter gifts at the farm shop. 😊

The Mennsdorf church is not surrounded by a village cemetery, as is usually the case. It is said that heavy rainfall in the middle of the 19th century caused the small village stream, the Paitzdorfer Sprotte, to swell to such an extent that it flooded and swept away half the village. Since the church and a few surrounding farms are very low-lying, the flood rose so high that even the cattle in the stables could barely keep themselves above water. The cemetery was washed away after this disaster. With foresight, the Mennsdorf citizens created the new churchyard on the western edge of the village.

The single-nave church was built at the highest point of the village, which was founded by German farmers in the second half of the 12th century. The choir tower dates from the late Gothic period. Before the Reformation, the church was the patron church of the Cronschwitz monastery and one of the largest and most important churches in the area. In 1793, the church tower received its top floor and the dome. The three bells in the tower did not arrive in Paitzdorf until 1969. They were cast by the Schilling family of bell founders in Apolda - originally for the church in Culmitzsch. As this village had to make way for uranium mining, the church in Paitzdorf got its bells.
