Lehesten village church
The Lehesten village church is located in the municipality of Lehesten in the Saale-Holzland district in Thuringia .
The former castle chapel is on the edge of the Lehesten moated castle . Today's evangelical branch church was built as a hall church with a three-sided polygonal choir and a roof turret in the course of renovations in 1550/51 . Only the bell indicates the medieval chapel . In the south above the arched portal there is a coat of arms with the monogram of the Provincial Commander Duke Christian August von Sachsen-Zeitz with the year 1689.
The nave is very functional. A three-sided gallery is in the room.
There are four stained glass windows in the chapel. The furnishings were carried out by the Wilhelm Franke Naumburg glass workshop . Three pointed arch windows standing next to each other divide the area of the east wall with light rhombuses. Christ appears as the main figure in an oculus above the altar. The window on the west side is adorned with an ornate border and two-tone dog roses.
Domglas Naumburg is the successor company with archive documents.
The room is designed with:
- the pulpit altar from 1633
- the altar crucifix from 1555
- the font from the 17th century
- the organ from the 19th century
