location
The street Dorfplatz runs among other things in the western area of the historic town center and there coming from the northeast in a southeast direction. It spans a triangular surface on which the church stands. The property is fenced in with a wall made of uncut and not layered field stones .
history
The building was erected as a hall church in the middle of the 13th century . In 1776, the then owner of the manor, Paul Benedikt von Wolff, had the west tower built. In 1893 craftsmen enlarged the openings and gates except for two portals on the north side. The building was renovated between 1999 and 2002. In addition to church services , concerts, film screenings, lectures and theater performances as well as exhibitions take place in the church.
Building description
The structure was essentially built from field stones , the lower area of which was carefully hewn and layered comparatively in layers. In the upper third, the lines run visibly and merge into rock fragments at the transition to the eaves . The " baroque " enlargements of the windows from 1893 were made with reddish brick . The choir is straight and has not moved in.
There are three windows on the north wall of the nave . Two larger openings and a raised window towards the choir. The reveals are triple profiled. Between the east and middle windows there is an ogival gate, which is likely from the construction period. Between the two remaining windows, the remains of another gate covered with field stones can be seen. Three windows of the same type were also installed on the south side. The ship is equipped with a simple gable roof covered.
To the west is the square and recessed west tower from 1776. It was built from bricks, which were then plastered . It is richly decorated with three-dimensional decor and lavishly structured in the lower area with double pilasters . Above a mezzanine floor are further, wide pilaster strips, between a high rectangular window, followed by a clock tower . The curved tower hood ends with a tower ball and weather vane .
Furnishing
altar
The high altar piece dates from the beginning of the 17th century and was reduced in size in 1733. What has remained is a three-storey structure with a classic structure consisting of a predella with the Lord's Supper , the crucifixion of Christ in the altar leaf and the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the Ascension in the altar extension . Two female figures are attached to the altar leaf, which is richly decorated with scrollwork and fittings, which are supposed to be an allegory of virtue . On the main entablature, the Evangelist John and another evangelist can still be seen, but the iconographic saint attribute is missing. A richly decorated, polygonal pulpit , with pilasters with herms attached to the staircase, probably comes from the same workshop . There are three carved reliefs on the basket decorated with corner pillars. They show Moses with the Ten Commandments , the birth of Christ and the crucifixion.
Further equipment
Other church furnishings include a stained glass window that, according to an inscription , came into the church as a votive offering during a plague epidemic in 1598 . A late Gothic wall painting from the 15th century has been preserved on the south wall. It could show Jesus Christ before Herod .
Organ loft
In the west there is a gallery which is dated to 1610. On it stands an organ that was built in 1852 by Georg Mickley from Freienwalde. Gustav Heinze added the pedal work in 1909. After several damages, Markus Roth from Goyatz repaired the organ in 2002 and changed the layout . This is now
