description
The rectangular plastered hall church is based on a medieval church building. This is also supported by the remains of a late Gothic shrine from around 1510. The old division into choir and nave is still recognizable. The church received its baroque appearance in 1744. This year is mentioned by an inscription behind the pulpit . It is crowned by a roof turret sitting in the middle of the roof ridge . In his belfry hangs a bronze bell, which was cast by Markus Rosenberger in 1520. The arched portalin the west with the strongly profiled Carnies , belongs to the late Renaissance . The coat of arms of the Barons of Pöllnitz adorns the entrance at the west portal . The nave is spanned by a coffered ceiling, the choir has a wooden beam ceiling . Between them there is a round-arched triumphal arch , which was renewed in 1892. The pillars that support the two-storey galleries in the nave are decorated with valleys , as they were common from the Gothic to the Baroque period. The pulpit altar is framed by the galleries. Above the sound cover there is a triangle in the wreath of clouds with an emanating halo of rays. The balustrades of the galleries are simple, except for the area in front of the organ. In front of the parapet of the lower gallery are carved statues of a former altarpiece from around 1510. The baptismal font is made of wood, it has the shape of a square truncated pyramid . On the north wall next to the pulpit altar is the patron's box . It was originally free, the pulpit altar was only installed later. At the old parish stand next to the altar is a statue of Mary , the child has since been lost, and nine statuettes of saints in a modern shrine. In 1996 new church stalls were installed. The organ was built in 1902 by the princely Reussian court organ builder Carl-Friedrich Zillgitt and was refurbished 36 years later by the Jehmlich company , as evidenced by a small sign. It has not been playable for years.
