Parish Church Gattendorf (Bavaria)
The Evangelical Parish Church Gattendorf is an Evangelical Lutheran parish church in Kirchgattendorf in Upper Franconia .
history
The church goes back to a chapel and belonged to the parish of St. Lorenz in Hof . Remnants of the chapel that were built up were assigned to the church during restoration work. The church has some rare Gothic elements, including wall paintings. The choir stalls were donated by a knight von Sparneck in 1509 . The von Sparneck family coats of arms can be found several times in the church. The old Kirchgattendorfer altar is now in Bamberg Cathedral . In the course of the Baroque era, the Knoll artist workshop in Hof supplied new inventory. Johann Nikolaus Knoll created a free-standing pulpit altar in 1707/1708 , of which figures have been preserved, and the baptismal angel . The son of the sculptor Wolfgang Adam Knoll made the pulpit altar in 1754.
organ
The organ in the Protestant parish church in Gattendorf comes from the workshop of the Nuremberg organ builder Johannes Strebel . The instrument with 9 registers on two manuals and pedal , built in 1915, was restored in 1999 by Hey Orgelbau . The organ's prospectus was also made by the son of the sculptor Wolfgang Adam Knoll.
