history
The village church of Holleben was built in the 12th century and was rebuilt several times between the 16th and 19th centuries. Due to damage to the church during the Thirty Years War , the church tower was given a Welsche Dome in 1695 . In the Middle Ages the church belonged to the Diocese of Halberstadt and was part of the so-called Easter ban (bannus orientalis). From the 13th century onwards, it was the seat of an archpriest, to whom twenty villages were subordinate. The patronage of the church is no longer known today.
The tower and nave were significantly rebuilt around 1700.
The church has been completely renovated for several years.
