Kasel-Golzig village church
The Protestant village church Kasel-Golzig is a stone church from the 14th century in Kasel-Golzig , a municipality in the district of Dahme-Spreewald in the state of Brandenburg . The church belongs to the parish of Lower Lausitz the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz .
location
The Golßener road leads east-west direction through the town. The church stands south of this connection on a slightly elevated area that is fenced in . The castle, which was built at the end of the 18th century, stands south of the sacred building .
history
The building was built between 1346 and 1355, initially as a rectangular hall. In the first quarter of the 15th century, craftsmen added a west tower to the building . In 1722 the parish had the building rebuilt in baroque style. The vestibule on the south side of the nave was probably built around this time . In 1927 and 1970, craftsmen restored the interior.
Building description
The church was essentially made of field stone , which was used uncut and not layered. Repair work was carried out with stone fragments and masonry . In some cases, hewn iron stone was also used. The choir is slightly drawn in and has a rectangular floor plan; the east wall is straight. In the east wall of the choir there are three arched windows, the fins of which were made with plaster . Above this is a small, ogival opening in the gable . A clogged, large and pressed segment arch-shaped opening can be seen on the north side, while a baroque window is installed on the south side.
The nave has a rectangular floor plan. Four windows of the same size are installed on the north side. A raised window follows to the west; underneath an ox eye to provide the area under the gallery with daylight. On the south side there is a plastered, rectangular vestibule with a gate on the south side and a transverse gable roof . Two large segmental arched windows follow to the west. The western part is dominated by an ogival, triple-stepped portal; above it in a cartouche the year 1722. To the west is another segmented arched window, followed by an ox eye and a round arched gate.
The west tower is transversely rectangular; on its south side a small, double-stepped pointed arch gate. It should come from the original construction time. There are no other openings in the lower floors . The middle tower floor is separated from the rest of the building by a surrounding cornice and is slightly drawn in. There is a slot-shaped opening on the north and south sides. In the bell storey made of brick there are two coupled sound arcades on each side . Above that is an eight-fold helmet with a tower clock, which ends with a tower ball and weather vane .
Furnishing
The pulpit altar dates from around 1720; its pulpit is decorated with columns and acanthus . In the predella the Lord's Supper can be seen. The font was also created around 1720 and made of sandstone . The round bowl bears two alliance coats of arms of the Stutterheim family of founders and is also decorated with acanthus.
Craftsmen installed a patronage box on the northern gallery . Above the western gallery, which was added later, is a barrel vault . The eastern gallery surrounds the altar and probably also dates from around 1722. It stands on twisted columns; above it in the middle a floating baptismal angel from the first half of the 18th century. It is around 1.31 m tall and was slightly overgrown in the 20th century. The original arm position has not yet been reconstructed. It is conceivable that he was hovering over the baptism that occurred at the same time with his arms outstretched. The work is reminiscent of other baptismal angels such as those from the church in Groß Lübbenau or Kossin. In the 21st century it is not movable and hangs next to two trumpet angels from an earlier organ . Its prospectus dates from 1833.
The interior of the building is flat covered; the beamed ceiling probably dates from the late Renaissance . On the north wall, a figurative epitaph reminds of Johann Wilhelm Siegismund von Zeschow, who died in the 17th century.
To the northwest, an obelisk commemorates the fallen from World War I.
