Amalienkirche in Immelborn

The Amalienkirche is the village church of the district Immelborn of the municipality Barchfeld-Immelborn in the Wartburg district in Thuringia .

history

The chapel dedicated to St. Amalie was probably built in 1584/85, dates on the front of the stairs and on the arched gate indicate this. A surrounding wall and a wide moat suggest that it was originally a fortified church . Today's church building with a rectangular floor plan and about 17 × 10 m in size, was created through renovations and extensions in the years 1707/08.

In 1809 the organ was installed and a pointed arch window created in 1707 was bricked up. The last time in 1998 was an extensive interior renovation of the church.

Furnishing

Five small tombstones from the 16th century are walled in on the front of the stairs. The church tower with the bell consisting of three bells is a roof turret that hardly protrudes over the ridge of the flat tent roof.

The rectangular interior has a flat barrel vault and two galleries . A wooden plaque attached to the gallery with the carved names of the fallen commemorates the dead of the Second World War . The stone pulpit bears the year 1707. The font comes from the middle of the 20th century. The organ from 1809 had a baroque prospect that has been preserved to this day and survived the renewal of the organ in 1910.
