Frankenförde village church

The Evangelical village church Frankenförde is a stone church in Frankenförde , a district of the municipality Nuthe-Urstromtal in the district of Teltow-Fläming in Brandenburg .

history

The sacred building was built around 1300. Towards the end of the 17th century, the parish expanded the structure with a roof tower and at the end of the 19th century in the west with a vestibule. The interior was renovated in 1960 and 1961, the tower in 2002 and 2003.

architecture

Priest gate

The church was built from field stones . In the southern wall of the nave , the lower two to three layers are evenly hewn and layered comparatively neatly. The lines run above it, which is partly due to the baroque enlargement of the five arched windows there. During the work, the field stones were apparently partly reused and the gaps that were created were filled with stone stones and splinters. The shape of the windows was emphasized by plastered bezels . Between the second and third window (viewed from the west) the viewer can see a clogged portal , as well as a smaller priest's door between the fourth and fifth window. The openings were closed with field stones and bricks, while the overlay arches made of reddish brick can still be seen in their original pointed arch shape. A narrow group of three windows is set in the straight choir . The stones are evenly layered and hewn up to the height of the gable , and above them are clearly smaller and unevenly distributed. In the upper third of the gable is a centrally placed, slit-shaped opening. A similar design can be found on the west tower, although the reading stones have already been layered a little more unevenly in the lower area. A rectangular porch made of brick with an arched gate and a gable with an integrated cross adjoins the building to the west and partially covers a central window on the west tower. The attached timber-framed roof tower is clad with black slate and has two small, rectangular sound arcades on the south and north sides . A tower dome with a tower ball and cross rises on the transversely set gable roof . The roof of the vestibule and the nave are covered with a red beaver tail .

Furnishing

The furnishings include a pulpit altar from the beginning of the 18th century, which a church guide describes as "richly decorated". A west gallery dates from around 1700. A sacrament niche can be seen in the east wall . The inside of the structure is flat covered.
