description
The original small Romanesque chapel in the walled church cemetery was converted into a hall church with a slightly retracted choir in 1604 . The choir is a cultivation of truss . The broad, south-facing church tower in the west has a small walled-in relief with a crucifix . The church was rebuilt as early as 1604, as is indicated on the south door. In 1862 the church tower was reinforced by short buttresses . He received a topped piece with a pointed hipped roof on which a lantern sits. In the north wall of the nave there is a walled up portal and windows with a Romanesque arch . The choir has arched windows from the 16th century. The choir and the nave have a flat ceiling , which was painted in 1704 by Christoph Lesern from Gotha with historicizing ornaments . The tower was originally opened to the nave through a round arched double arcade . The nave has two-storey galleries , on the organ gallery there is a wooden epitaph from the von Hopffgarten family from 1749.
The organ with 18 registers , divided into two manuals and a pedal , was built by Johann Friedrich Heinrich Ratzmann around 1830 .
