Building description and history
The village church of Kleinrössen is a half-timbered brick building with a three-sided east end, built towards the end of the 18th century, instead of a previous building built in 1691 according to plans by Conrad von Klengels. On the roofs of the nave are bat dormers to see. In the west of the ship there is a retracted west tower with a square floor plan, the two upper floors of which have been boarded up. It was provided with a tent roof and a lantern above it , which was also kept square. The tower is crowned by a weather vane.
Inside the church there is a flat wooden ceiling and a brick floor. Galleries are built into the west and south, with a swinging organ gallery adjoining the southern gallery in the east . This gallery was probably built in 1893.
In the same year, the Kleinrössen church also received an organ, which was created by the Eilenburg organ builder Conrad Geißler (1825-1897) as opus 112. It has a mechanical sliding drawer , five stops on a manual and pedal.
