The listed Drasdo village church is located on the oval village green of the southern Brandenburg municipality of Drasdo in the Elbe-Elster district .

It belongs to the parish Uebigau in the parish of Bad Liebenwerda of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .
Building history and description
Even before the Reformation , the village of Drasdo had a place of worship.
The low hall church is a field stone building from the 15th century. Their irregular masonry has a high proportion of lawn iron stones . On the south side there are three irregularly arranged windows of different sizes. Another window can be found on the north side of the church, three on the choir .
The church was completely renovated between 1662 and 1695 after the Thirty Years War , in which the building was badly damaged. Among other things, window openings were enlarged and the church was newly plastered. Above the south entrance there is an inscription from 1695 with the names of the Kirchhain master mason Christian Krengel and the Liebenwerda carpenter Hanns Fratzen. In this year, the timber-framed tower floor was provided with a brick coating, which can be proven by a date on the beams. Simple wooden doors from 1842 can be found on the north and south sides of the nave with a flat plastered ceiling. The church tower adjoining to the west has its own entrance.
The slightly protruding north gallery of the church stands on round pillars with a bulging capital . Another slightly swinging gallery can be seen on the south side.
Interior
The church is relatively simple. The gilded iron art cast of the altar crucifix dates from around the middle of the 19th century.
The font dates from 1594. It is made of sandstone and has a cylindrical base with rollers and fittings. There are three inscriptions and three reliefs on the six-sided dome . The pewter baptismal font from the same year bears the inscription "15 Hans Henick 94".
There is also a medieval iron-studded church chest in the church.
Organ and bells
