description
The classicistic hall church over six axes and steeple in the east was built from 1827 to 1831 according to plans by an unknown builder instead of a previous one, which was consecrated to Maria, Nicolai and all saints according to a document from 1281 . The stone-faced, rectangular building covered with a flat gable roof has a monumental portal in the west , reminiscent of French revolutionary architecture . A massive pair of columns supports the entablature and the ornamental tympanum . The nave has two-storey galleries and is covered with a flat ceiling. The pews are grouped in a semicircle around the altar . The altarpiece from the beginning of the 16th century from a workshop in Saalfeld consists of a carved relief depicting the Lamentation of Christ .
The large bronze bell was cast in 1512, the two smaller ones are more recent.
The organ with 21 registers , divided into two manuals and a pedal , was built in 1831 by Johann Friedrich Schulze and restored in 2006 by Schönefeld Organ Builders.
The church was renovated in 1969, and in 1981 the classicist wall painting and ceiling painting were renewed. In the mid-1990s, the tower cracked due to traffic and the building was extensively restored.
