description
The hall church built by JA Küntzel in 1729 instead of a previous church is covered with a gable roof. The choir tower on a square floor plan has an eight-sided floor with the bell chamber . On it sits a curly hood , which is crowned by an open lantern . In the belfry hang three bells from 1463 and 1718, which were renewed in 1995. There is a legend about the history of the church bell, according to which the bell itself mystically disappeared during the looting of the Hussites in 1430 and was only found again by a pig. After a fire, the church was renewed in 1746 and later renovated several times. In 1792 the southern extension was built, in 1819 the northern one for the authorities . The church was restored in 1910 and 1990–93. A stair tower connects to the south of the nave . In the interior there are two-story galleries . The pulpit is from the 18th century, the baptismal font from the 17th century.
The church houses a grave slab from 1585 for N. von Roßwurm .
The organ has 23 registers , divided into 2 manuals and pedal . It was built in 1818 by Christian Friedrich Poppe .
