Small building church

Small-scale church from the northeast

The small building church in its current form and the furnishings are from the end of the 17th century. Two major construction and furnishing phases (1675/1681) characterize the building of the church. The altar and the two manorial boxes on the north and south sides are remarkable. Stylistically, the carving shows the transition from Renaissance to Baroque.

Since 2004, extensive renovation and restoration work has been carried out both outside and inside. In the upper inner wall area, a former circumferential festoon painting could be found, and the gallery parapets from 1680 have been uncovered by restoration. Under the multilayered oil cover, paintings depicting prophets from the Old Testament could be uncovered and restored. The last restoration activities in 2012 concentrated on the preservation of the epitaphs of Carl Heinrich von Nostitz (d. 1684) and his wife Barbara Elisabeth; born from Ziegler-Klipphausen .

As part of the Lusatian Music Summer and other occasions, the church provides a worthy setting for Renaissance music concerts and the like. Ä.
