Ellensen Church

The church of St. Matthew shapes the central townscape. The first church building was badly damaged in the Thirty Years' War and continued to fall into disrepair in the decades that followed, so that it had to be completely renovated in 1728. At the same time the building was enlarged. The organ with 6 registers, built in 1753, was repaired in 1838. In 1846 the church was renovated and enlarged again. Fifty years later, a new organ with 10 sounding voices was installed, and a half-timbered shed was added to the outer wall to store fuel for the church stove. The bells melted down in the world wars were replaced in 1952 and in 1977 another renovation took place.
