St. Katharina (Reuth)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Katharina in Reuth
Acanthus altar

The Roman Catholic Church of St. Katharina in Reuth near Erbendorf was built not far from the castle as a former castle chapel. It was built in 1717 at the time of the lord of the palace, Johann Christian Ernst von Sparneck .

Of particular artistic value is the monstrance-shaped high altar of the church made of acanthus carvings , the work of the sculptor and carpenter Johann Christoph Windisch , which was created between 1717 and 1720.

The altarpiece shows Saint Catherine , the picture above the adoration of the Magi. The idea of ​​using the Mediterranean acanthus plant as an imaginatively carved framework for the creation of the altar is original.
