Architecture and building history

The Groß Schacksdorf Church was probably built in the second half of the 14th century, but no later than the beginning of the 15th century. It is a late Gothic field stone building with ⅝-choir closure. The village church was destroyed in the Thirty Years War and rebuilt between 1719 and 1721. The square west tower made of brick was also added, this has a tail hood with lantern . On the south side of the church there is a two-storey patronage box from around 1740.

The village church has an ogival south gate in Gothic style, all other windows and entrances were later redesigned in Baroque style. Inside the church has a plastered wooden barrel with burr ribs . The east end is formed as half a monastery vault , the keystones are painted with coats of arms, the paintings are dated to the year 1723. The church has a north and a west gallery .

After the Second World War, the damaged village church was renovated from 1953 . Between 1982 and 1989, the building, which was now in a state of disrepair, was again restored.

The parish of Groß Schacksdorf forms the parish of Noßdorf with the parishes of Forst-Noßdorf and Groß Bademeusel . This belongs to the church district Cottbus in the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia .

Furnishing

Most of the original furnishings in the Groß Schacksdorfer village church were destroyed in the Second World War. Only parts of the wooden altarpiece have been preserved. This dates from the 18th century and is decorated with figures of the risen Christ and angels. The pulpit was from around 1700 and had cartridges on the parapet.

Most of the furnishings today come from the Weißagk village church, which was demolished in 1987 for the Jänschwalde opencast mine . The altarpiece has columns of vine leaves and cartilage cheeks and dates from the second half of the 17th century. In the reconstructed, inserted shrine there is a small standing figure of Mary with child from 1470 or 1480, this was taken from the village church of Grießen . The wooden pulpit dates from the 18th century, the cast iron baptismal font from 1868.

The glazed patronage box of the church protrudes like a bay window, biblical scenes are painted on the parapet fields with grisaille technique. In the church there is also a medieval sacrificial box with iron fittings and an epitaph for two sons of the von Mühlen family who died in 1704 . Outside the church there are seven baroque coat of arms and inscription tombstones.

The organ was built around 1775 by the organ builder Matthäus Claunigk and was also initially in the village church in Weißagk. It is one of the oldest organs in Lusatia .
