Würchhausen village church
The Würchhausen village church is located in the Würchhausen district of Wichmar in the city of Camburg in the Saale-Holzland district in Thuringia .
history
Paul Lehfeldt wrote in 1890 that the village of Würchhausen mainly consists of an estate in which a village church is integrated. He emphasizes that the estate's own church has a Romanesque choir with a triumphal arch resting on two heavy pillars with capitals and a tower substructure. The church tower was built in 1570 and the complex was expanded at that time.
The sacrament shrine stands on the north side of the choir with late Gothic tail arches fringed by flowers and crowned with gable flowers. The door is made of latticework.
The altar plate is placed on two plates. A plaque on the side of the choir commemorates its predecessors. The coat of arms in the west choir probably honors the aristocratic Münch family . Herrmann von Münch owned the estate from 1494 to 1570 and probably integrated the house of God.
There is a baroque painting on the east side and a copper engraving on the south side of the room.
The bells are from 1890. The former manor house with church is again in private hands after the fall of the Wall .
The organ was transferred to Mertendorf in 1959 . A double-leaf memorial plaque from the 17th century was donated to the Camburg City Museum as a safeguard and is exhibited there.
