Jütrichau village church
The village church of Jütrichau is the Protestant church of the village of Jütrichau in Saxony-Anhalt , which was built in 1893 as a neo-Gothic brick building on the site of a church from the 13th century that had been demolished due to dilapidation.
history
The original church was first mentioned in 1214 in connection with the confirmation of a nunnery in Zerbst . The church was a subsidiary of the church in Wertlau and was given to the monastery by Walter and Burchard von Barby . Georg Abraham von Oppen donated a wood-carved altar in early 1700 , which is still in today's church. In 1721, the church bell with a diameter of 63 cm was cast by Michael Weinhold in Dresden . Around 1890 the old church, which was described as dilapidated, was torn down.
Two von Oppen brothers donated two church windows that are still preserved today for the new building from 1893. The apostles Peter and Paul and Jesus are depicted in the windows . In addition to the altar from 1700, a shell-shaped baptismal font from 1733 is remarkable in the interior of the church.
The parish administration of Jütrichau is carried out by the St. Bartholomäi parish in Zerbst .
