Crandorf Church
The Evangelical Lutheran parish church in Crandorf is a baroque hall church in the Saxon Ore Mountains .
history
Crandorf was parish in Schwarzenberg during the Catholic period and after the Reformation it belonged to the newly founded parish of Grünstädtel . In 1712, Crandorf became an independent church after the construction of the church, which had started the previous year and led by Johann Georg Pauli from Schwarzenberg, had been completed. Today the Evangelical Lutheran parish Erla-Crandorf is the sister church of the Schwarzenberg St. Georgen Church .
architecture
The plastered fieldstone building tends towards the central building and is closed on three sides in the east and west. On the keystone of the basket arch portal to the southern of the transept-like additions are the Crandorf coat of arms and the year 1712. On the west tower, built in 1864 with a square floor plan, there is a slim, pointed helmet . During the renovation work from 2004 to 2006, the ailing slate roof was replaced by a folded copper sheet metal roof.
inner space
The light-flooded, elongated octagonal hall has a flat plastered ceiling and surrounding galleries. On both sides of the choir there are glazed prayer rooms with lowered windows. The baroque pulpit altar dates from the time the church was built. On both sides of the altar painting with the depiction of the crucifixion in an oval laurel frame is a putti with host and chalice. The sound cover crowned by a carved figure of the risen one with angel figures on the side is formed as a cloud. Above is the organ made by Julius Jahn & Sohn in 1912.
