Church of St. John the Baptist

Church of St. John the Baptist

The Catholic Church of St. John the Baptist in Rengelrode is a branch church of the Old Town Church of St. Mary in Heiligenstadt. The church is medieval in origin, large parts of the medieval masonry are preserved in the massive western tower with supporting pillars at the free corners. The ship, on the other hand, was rebuilt in 1738 and consecrated on November 21, 1739. According to tradition, the plans for this came from Johann Christoph Heinemann, the builder of the Heiligenstadt Castle. The tower and nave are built from red sandstone with a view of stone, the nave is vaulted with a wide three- bay groined vault separated by arches and ends in the east with a five-sided, not drawn-in chancel . The lower belt arch extensions and the corners of the choir are accentuated in the interior by pilasters with profiled spars . In 1822 the tower was given a new, slate-hung dome, and the portals were changed in 1960. The church was repainted in 1999. Except for an 18th century wooden sculpture showing John the Baptist , the furnishings date from the 20th, partly the 19th century.

The organ was built by Johann Wilhelm Schmerbach the Younger in 1837–38 , using seven registers from the older organ, which was probably built in 1695 by Johann Friedrich Wender and was in the Anrode Monastery until 1811 .

Rengelröder waiting

The Rengelröder Warte was built in the first half of the 15th century and belonged to the Landwehr system of the city of Heiligenstadt. The round watch tower is made of red sandstone and has been preserved up to a height of about ten meters. As usual, the entrance was not at ground level, but raised. Cantilevered stones on the upper edge of the masonry indicate a wooden roof structure that was formerly attached here or a further floor made of timber framework.
