description
In 1444 a late Gothic pilgrimage chapel was built, which was consecrated to the Virgin Mary and the Holy Cross . The pilgrimage church became the parish church of Haindorf after the Reformation. In 1467 the church building was extended to a hall church with three axes and two naves made of sandstone. The main nave has a three-sided closure in the east. The chapel on a square floor plan adjoins the north aisle to the east . The square, four-story church tower in the west has been shifted from the main axis of the main nave. The top floor is made of timber and slated . It is covered with a curly bonnet topped with a lantern . The four bells were cast in 1463 and 1464. At the end of the 17th century and in 1775 the interior was redesigned in baroque style. The church was restored in 1881 and the chapel in 1996.
A further small chapel was originally located on the south side of the nave grown . The pointed arch portal in the north has a Überstabung. There are tracery windows in the aisle and on the tower. Is located on the west side of the tower on the second floor , the relief of a man's head. The main nave has had a simple coffered ceiling since 1775 , which was originally more richly decorated. The aisle is open to the central nave through two ogival arcades . It is also roofed flat, but the buttresses visible from the outside suggest an originally intended vault . The ground floor of the tower has a ribbed vault , as does the chapel, there the ribs are decorated with faces in rosettes , the keystone shows a sun with rays . The three symbols of the evangelists in the vaulted fields and scenes from the life of Mary on the walls are the last remnants of the chapel's painting. A pointed arch on the north side of the aisle opens to the chapel, there is a piscina .
The unadorned, two-storey and two-sided galleries in the main nave were built in 1686. An additional organ gallery from 1688 stands on carved columns with Corinthian capitals above the altar .
In the choir there is a sacrament house with a keel-arched frame from the time of construction. The block altar and the baptismal font made of sandstone with leaf-shaped ornaments are from 1708. The most important piece of the church furnishings , a masterpiece of late Gothic stonemasonry, is the 15th century stone casing of a holy grave on the north side of the main nave under the gallery . The sarcophagus-like substructure is decorated with intertwined tracery . Above it rests a canopy with a hollow vault on four profiled pillars .
