church

The Mühlhauser church dates from the 12th century and is the Holy St. Georg consecrated. A donation made it the property of Boke Monastery , which was moved to Flechtdorf in 1104 and thus became Flechtdorf Monastery . It is located in the middle of the village on a slightly elevated former churchyard (cemetery). The design is very similar to the church in Berndorf . Originally it was a Romanesque arched pillar basilica with a square choir and west tower. The side aisles were demolished in 1787. At around the same time, the probably much older tower was given a half-timbered tower and an eight-sided pointed helmet with four little gables.

The former arcades in the nave were walled up to the central nave, this can still be seen on the outside of the brickwork. The western arcade on the north side serves as the entrance. In 1844 a half-timbered vestibule was added. The arched windows in the nave and in the choir were enlarged in the baroque period .

In 2010 the renovation of the St. Georg Church was completed.
