description

The late Gothic hall church stands, according to tradition on the site of a former monastery . Under the chancel there is a crypt in which the church patrons were buried. It was originally the crypt of the small previous building, which was torn down due to its dilapidation . Their stones were used to build the current structure. The crypt was first uncovered and then backfilled with rubble .

The church was made of quarry stone masonry . It has a three-sided end of the choir and a church tower drawn in to the south with a height of approx. 30 m in the west. In 1472 a small bell was hung up, which was cast over by the Ullrich brothers in 1869 . Another big bell was cast by Heinrich Ciegler from Erfurt in 1518. In 1917 these two bells had to be removed for armament purposes. In 1925 two new bells were cast in the Christian Stoermer bell foundry in Erfurt. These were accepted on February 13, 1942. All that remained was a little bell on the church tower. On May 10, 1948, the big bell returned to Nöda from the Ilsenburg bell cemetery.

The nave mostly has tracery windows . The arched portals from the construction period are z. Partly walled up, so the church exit to the Gera . The gable roof of the nave has six dormers . On the north side there is a double staircase to the galleries . The ground floor in the tower has a groin vault . The nave has circumferential two-story galleries with painted parapets , in them scenes from the Old Testament and the New Testament with inscriptions from 1659. The baptismal font from 1590 is fitted with fittings . Portrait paintings from the beginning of the 17th century show Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon .

The first organ was purchased in 1733. It was renewed by Louis Witzmann . Today's organ has 21 stops , divided into 2 manuals and a pedal , and was built by Friedrich Wilhelm Holland around 1870 .
