Evangelical Church in Altenburschla

church

The evangelical church goes into parts of their buildings to the period before the introduction of the Reformation in the land county Hessen in 1526 and perhaps back already to the year 1362nd The year 1564 on a corner stone in the choir tower names the year in which the tower was added to the existing nave. The church was badly damaged in the Thirty Years' War in 1637 , and it was not renovated until 1752-1774. The superstructure was built in half-timbered construction and the tower also received the two half- timbered floors. The third, slated-up floor of the tower with the lantern cover dates from 1825. The organ is believed to have been made by Johann Wilhelm Schmerbach the Elder .

The Anger in the center of the village

Anger

The Anger in the center of the village near the churchyard is considered a particularly beautiful linden square. In the round walling there is a tree that, without any documentary confirmation, is said to have been planted in 1825 when the complex was redesigned. The three other linden trees are replanted from a later period. As a former place of court and assembly, the Anger is a protected cultural monument for historical reasons . Parts of the original wall and an old stone table with three benches remain from the former court.
