It belongs to the parish of Langengrassau in the parish of Gehren in the Lower Lusatia parish of the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia and is an open church .

History and architecture

The village church of Langengrassau is a late Romanesque hall building made of field stone blocks from the first half of the 13th century with an apse and a transverse rectangular west tower the width of a ship and was completed around 1300. In the years 1818–1820 the church was renewed, among other things the nave was increased and large arched windows were broken in. The apse received a hipped roof. This redesign in the classicist style gave the Romanesque church a certain resemblance to a castle. Restorations took place in 1964 and 2006–2008.

On the upper floors of the west tower, the masonry is more irregular and probably a bit younger. The tower has round-arched sound openings and is closed off by a transverse gable roof with a slender roof turret from the beginning of the 17th century. The interior was redesigned in a classical style in 1818/20. It is covered by a hollow ceiling with painted coffers and stucco rosettes in the middle. A three-sided gallery is built over Tuscan wooden supports. There is a semi-dome in the apse.

Furnishing

The furnishing also comes from around 1820. The main piece is the pulpit altar built into the apse opening with a round pulpit cage between double columns, under which side passages lead. A hexagonal neo-Gothic christening was made of cast iron and shows a lid framed by pinnacles . The organ front has a flat gable over pilasters . A classical six-armed chandelier is made of gilded wood. Two paintings from Waltersdorf bei Luckau from the late 17th century show Maria and Johannes in front of a city panorama and the resurrection. Both were found in 1934 and restored shortly afterwards.

The organ is a work by Friedrich Traugott Kayser from 1820 with eleven stops on a manual and pedal , which was restored in 1992 by Fahlberg Orgelbau.
