description
The stone part of the church tower is the remaining part of the church , which was built around 1490. The nave of today's hall church , covered with a half- hipped roof , was not built until 1743, as is indicated on the south side. Several renovations are attested in writing.
The tower has an octagonal slate-roofed tower with sound arcades between curved decorative gables , on which a curved dome sits. In the top there is the bell chamber , in whose bell cage there are three bronze bells that Johann Christoph Rose cast. The nave has two rows of rectangular windows, small below and large above.
On August 9, 1927, a fire destroyed the church tower. The nave was saved. The reconstruction of the tower began immediately. On February 29, 1928, three new church bells were placed on the tower and on April 7, 1928 the new copper tower ball and the new copper weather vane were attached to the tower.
The interior has three-sided, two-storey galleries and is spanned with a wooden barrel vault over the central space. The three-axis pulpit altar from 1743 has pilasters and columns on high pedestals . A coat of arms on the pulpit commemorates the church patronage that Duke Johann Adolf II of Saxony-Weissenfels had. Next to the bulbous pulpit are the carved figures of Jesus Christ and Moses . There is a crucifix above the sound cover . A kneeling baptismal angel comes from the 18th century. The organ with 20 registers , divided into 2 manuals and a pedal , was built in 1863 by the Peternell brothers.
