Architecture and building history

The church of Dollenchen was built towards the end of the 13th century and thus before the village was first mentioned in a document. The Brandenburg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) dates the building to the year 1286. It can be assumed that there was a smaller church building in the same place before. The building is an early Gothic hall church made of stone blocks. A cuboid transverse tower with a transverse saddle roof is attached to the western part, which was subsequently added around 1342. On the tower there is again a baroque tower with a tail hood , this was put on in 1698. There is a weather vane each on the church tower roof and on the top of the church tower . The north portal is covered with field and lawn iron stones.

In the late 17th century, the church of Dollenchen underwent extensive renovations. The roof structure was renewed around 1680, and a little later the half-timbered vestibule was built on the south portal and the nave windows were enlarged and provided with cleaning flasks. The group of three windows on the east side of the church remained unchanged. The ogival portals on the north and south sides were also left in their original form, but incorporated into the half-timbered porch on the south side. Above the northern entrance portal, a plastic flat layer with a vertex is incorporated, comparable to the village church in Lieskau . There are several large plaster scratches on the east gable, including a checkerboard pattern , wheels and crosses. These scratches come from the construction time.

Furnishing

Most of the furnishings in the church date from the late 18th century. In the church there is a horseshoe gallery on baluster posts with a curved parapet on the west side.

In the church there is a simple pulpit altar and a late Gothic baptismal font from the first half of the 15th century. In the church there is also an eight-sided cupa with tracery on the sides, the base of the baptismal font was added in 1989. The church also has a carved baptismal angel with a wreath in the left hand from the 18th century. There are also other carved figures, including a figure of the Madonna with child from the 14th century.

The village church Dollenchen is equipped with an organ from Guben organ builder Christian Friedrich Leopold Morgenstern from 1826. This is also a listed building.
