description
The hall church from 1553 has a choir with a polygonal end and a recessed church tower in the west, which comes from the previous church. The sacristy is built on the south side . In 1710 major modifications were made. There were segmentbogige windows in the nave installed, including each a lying rectangular window. On the north side there is a profiled and drilled portal with the coat of arms of the Archbishop of Mainz. Above it, in a wall niche, there is a stone sculpture of St. Martin on horseback from the 18th century. The tower has biforias with curtain arches on the top stone floor . On the octagonal floor above, behind the sound arcades, lies the bell chamber , in whose bell cage hangs a church bell that was cast around 1300. The interior originally had three-sided, two-storey galleries , of which only the western organ gallery has survived . Between the former flat ceilings of the side galleries there is a plastered and painted wooden barrel vault . The high altar from the 18th century has columns decorated with fruit tendrils , and St. Martin and the Trinity are depicted in the altarpiece . The confessional from the 18th century comes from the Erfurt Wigbertikirche . On it is a carved figure of Anna the third of herself from around 1500 . A Pietà and life-size figures of Mary and John , which originally belonged to a crucifixion group , date from the beginning of the 16th century . The organ with 29 registers , divided into 2 manuals and a pedal , was built in 1846 by Johann Michael Hesse II and restored in 1985 by Norbert Sperschneider .
