St. Annen (Niederschöna)
The Protestant village church St. Annen Niederschöna is a baroque hall church in the district Niederschöna the community Halsbruecke in mittelsachsen of Saxony . It belongs to the parish of Niederschöna-Oberschaar in the Freiberg church district of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony and is best known for its Gottfried Silbermann organ .
History and architecture
The exact age of the village church is not known. A knight who rode with Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa in the third crusade is said to have redeemed a vow for a happy return home with the building of the church. Since the first documentary mention of Niederschöna took place later, this founding history is not documented. The patronage is indicated with St. Anne .
Today's baroque hall church comes from a renovation in the years 1754/1755. The interior was renovated between 1823 and 1828, and restoration was carried out in 1953/1954. Another renovation of the exterior and interior took place from 2000 to 2007.
The church is a plastered quarry stone building with a retracted, rectangular choir and a small sacristy in the east. A two-story box is arranged in the south, with a three-story entrance hall in front of it in the west. A mighty roof turret in the west with a curved hood and lantern accentuates the exterior.

Inside, the church is designed as a simple flat-roofed hall with galleries on three sides. A rustic wooden pulpit altar, probably from 1823, forms the main part of the furnishings. A large font with an octagonal dome and tracery ornament dates from around 1500.
organ
The organ on the west gallery is an early work by Gottfried Silbermann from the years 1715/1716 with 14 stops on a manual and pedal . It was originally set up on the north gallery, was repaired several times, and when it was renewed in 1907 and 1959 by the Jehmlich company, it received new pipes in several registers in a non-original design. In 1992 the pedal trumpet was reconstructed in its original form by the Wegscheider organ workshop . In 1993 the case frame was restored.
From September 2015 to May 2016 an extensive restoration was carried out by the Wegscheider organ workshop, which was funded by the Orgelklang Foundation. In addition to the new construction of a wedge-shaped bellows system for wind supply based on the historical model, the entire pipework was refurbished, the wind chests restored and the technical game apparatus restored and partially reconstructed in the manner of Silbermann. The organ was inaugurated again on Whit Monday 2016. The original disposition is:

Surroundings
The parsonage is a three-sided courtyard consisting of the elongated parsonage with a massive ground floor and half-timbered upper floor, an opposite, older residential stable house and a barn with a half-timbered gable. The rectory is marked 1824 on the basket arch portal, but the core is probably from the end of the 17th or the beginning of the 18th century. The stable house presumably from the beginning of the 17th century shows a boarded-up upper floor above a massive ground floor and is made of half-timbered construction on the back.
The old school with a massive ground floor and a half-hip roof forms an effective ensemble with the rectory and the church and is marked with the year 1818 on the portal.
Peal
The ringing consists of three cast steel bells, the bell cage is made of oak and the bell yokes are made of steel. Below is a data overview of the bell:
