history
The Gothic church was built as a fortified church between 1360 and 1380 . It was initially a branch church of the church in Ruhland. With the Reformation in 1532, the church became a parish church. The interior of the hall church was decorated with late Gothic frescoes in 1408 . In 1574 a lattice tower was added. According to legend, during the Thirty Years' War , the church was spared from destruction by imperial troops because of the fresco, Buksche Maria . In 1667 the church was redesigned in baroque style, with galleries being built in. Due to the growth of the community through the residents of Peickwitz , Grünewald , Sella and Heide , the galleries were increased. The organ , the work of master organ builder Gottlob Heinrich Nagel from Großenhain, was installed in 1845.
The church was renovated in the late 1990s. The interior of the church is currently to be renovated, with the galleries being partially dismantled and the appearance of 1870/1871 being restored.
Frescoes
The frescoes from 1408 were plastered over during the baroque redesign and partly destroyed. They were rediscovered during painting work in 1958 and exposed. On the north wall, scenes from the life of Jesus are depicted, including a picture of the Virgin and child, Buck's Maria . On the south wall are the legends of the saints, the Ten Commandments and Mary Magdalene and on the east wall there is a larger than life representation of Saint Barbara .
