church

St. Thomas Church

The church, built from rubble stones , dates back to the 12th century, but has been changed several times. The choir was probably rebuilt in the last decades of the 15th century, but the nave was not rebuilt until 1570. The tower jumps in opposite the nave and choir. In the north there is a patronage box with a hipped roof. The ship and tower have longitudinal gable roofs. The choir has three-sided east end. The interiors are all flat, the tower space is cut off from the nave and choir by round arches. The winged altar shows Mary on the crescent moon in the middle, flanked by two saints standing on top of each other and three apostles each in the side wings. It dates from the end of the 15th century. The pulpit with pilaster arcades dates from the 16th century, the sandstone font from the beginning of the 17th century. In the end of the choir there are two epitaphs for Melchior von Bottfeld († 1695) and Wolff Friedrich von Tümpling († 1728), the latter should be from Joh. Mich. Hoppenhaupt originate. On the north wall there is a fresco of a pilgrim (Jacobusminor) and a sacrament niche from the 15th century.

The Church of St. Thomas in Blösien is a small, rectangular building with a retracted square choir tower and a wider choir closed on three sides. The core of the building is of Romanesque origin and was built around 1250. A former patronage box is located above the groin vaulted sacristy of the church . The organ was created by Friedrich Ladegast in 1855 , making it one of the first organs by the famous organ builder. Every summer there is a concert at the organ as part of the organ concerts in Merseburger Land. There are three bells on the tower, which were replaced in 1960 as cast steel bells. Only the small bell remains of the original bell.

The church suffered severe roof and window damage in an air raid during World War II. It has been restored.
