The church

The Protestant village church Lohma is in the Lohma district of the town of Schmölln in the Altenburger Land district in Thuringia .

history

After the predecessor church first mentioned in 1487 no longer met the requirements, the Protestant hall church was built in 1738 with basket arched windows as well as a hipped roof and ridge turrets as a landlord's foundation. Under a flat ceiling it had modest baroque furnishings from the time it was built. Restorations were carried out in 1884 and 1956 . Inside is the last organ - and once the largest - from the workshop of Wilhelm Leberecht Herbrig (Saxony) from 1861. The instrument was moved here in 1884 by CE Jehmlich , Dresden, from Kötzschenbroda . Today the floor, stalls and organ have been removed.

In 2003 the church became Church of the Month in January thanks to a grant from the “ KiBa Foundation ” of half a million euros .
