history

The late medieval village church , dating from 1341, had a rectangular nave , a polygonal closed choir and a sacristy house on the north side as well as a rectangular west tower .

In 1723 the current hall church with the retracted choir tower was built using old components from the previous church. In 1855 the pulpit altar was replaced by the pulpit from the Schwarzburg castle chapel . The winged altar in the anteroom comes from Wohlsborn .

In 2007 it was named "Rosenkirche Sankt Elisabeth".

Furnishing

The bells of the three-part peal originated in the 14th century.

The interior was completely renovated in 1934. The church has three-sided two-story galleries and a flattened wooden barrel in the nave and choir. The glass painting donated in 1910 by the W. Franke Naumburg workshop adorns the right choir window.

The organ is from the middle of the 19th century.

At the southeast corner of the nave, a corner cuboid with an inscription and an obelisk-shaped tomb are walled in.
