history
In 1448 the church named after St. Gangolf was built. In 1719 the foundation stone of the new church that exists today was laid. During excavation work, a grave was found with coins from 1242.
In 1750, the organ builder Johann Christoph Thielemann began to install the new organ . He suddenly fell ill and his student Johann Stephan Schmaltz from Arnstadt took over this task.
In the years 2000 to 2003 prisoners from the open penal system of the Ichtershausen juvenile detention center took over the renovation work.
The belfry was rebuilt in 2010, with the bells being hung new and different.
