Gladau village church
The village church in Gladau is the Protestant church in Gladau (Saxony-Anhalt).
history
The church, which was presumably consecrated to St. Matthias, is a single-nave field stone building of Romanesque origin from the 13th century. The lower masonry of the church tower made of carefully hewn blocks is one of the oldest areas of the structure. The slate spire with its curved dome was not put on until the 17th century. The changes to the windows and portals also date from this time. During further renovations in 1881, the rectangular neo-Gothic choir was added to the east side and the east gable of the nave was decorated with gothic stone steps. The interior was given a flat ceiling, and a gallery was attached to the west side . On it stands the organ with a romanized prospectus . The interior of the church also includes a crucifixion painting by the painter Mathilde Block-Niendorff , dated 1904.
