The Kade village church is the Protestant church in Kade in Saxony-Anhalt .
history
The church stands in the center of the village north of the thoroughfare on the elevated churchyard enclosed by a stone wall. The original Romanesque building from the 13th century , made of field stones, was renewed and expanded both in 1656 after a tower collapsed and in 1913 after impending dilapidation. Today the building consists of a nave , the somewhat narrower apse in the east, the square west tower and the neo-Romanesque south porch added in 1913 . The church tower was raised in three parts when it was rebuilt in 1913 and is now staggered into a tower shaft, a smaller clock floor and a tent roof . All windows of the church building are designed with round arches in accordance with the Romanesque origin .
Thanks to the generosity of the patronage families von Werder and von Treskow and the restoration efforts at the beginning of the 21st century, the church has valuable furnishings . The carved altarpiece from the workshop of Lucas Cranach the Elder, completed around 1510, is outstanding . Ä. In the shrine, a Madonna and four saints are depicted as colored carved figures , the four wings are decorated with paintings depicting 24 saints. The interior from 1913 was also lavishly designed in the historicist style, such as the horseshoe gallery with cross-shaped panels and the pulpit with tracery decoration . The organ with two manuals and nine registers , also built in 1913, comes from the well-known Rühlmann organ workshop.
