St. Johannes village church
The brick built village church of St. Johannes dates from 1857. A previous Romanesque building had to be demolished in 1856 because it was dilapidated. The carved Gothic altar of the old church can be seen today in the Gothic vault of the Moritzburg Art Museum in the Moritzburg in Halle / Saale . It was purchased for the collections there in 1917. In 1905 lightning struck the church. The subsequent fire caused severe damage to the tower, the bells, the clockwork and the organ. A year later, almost all the damage to the tower was repaired.
In 1910 the church got a new, late romantic organ, which was created by the Zörbig master organ builder Wilhelm Rühlmann . The organ's prospectus adopts the shape of the church interior ( neo-Romanesque and classicism ; but Art Nouveau ornaments can also be found). The twelve registers are on pneumatic pullout drawers with disc valves, and the registers are switched on via pneumatic pocket drawers.
The interior and exterior of the church were renovated in the mid-1990s. In 2014 the organ was also renovated. The building is now a listed building.
