In 1713 the church tower was demolished in the east and a new tower was built in the west. In 1983/84 the church was renovated .

description

The hall church has a straight end in the east and the church tower in the west. During the renovation period 1712-16, two-storey galleries were built in the elongated, rectangular hall on the north, west and partly on the south side. Pictures of the prophets, evangelists and other biblical figures and scenes and sayings are painted on their parapets . The wooden barrel vault was stenciled around 1900 . The three-part altarpiece from 1516 has a relief in the shrine with the depiction of the Lamentation of Christ , flanked by two superimposed figures of saints, on the left Peter, below Catherine , on the right Paul, below Barbara . The eleven apostles and Boniface are painted on the inside of the wings and scenes from the Passion story are painted on the outside . In the predella are four reconstructed busts of female saints. The relief with the Lamentation of Christ is ascribed to the master of the Deubacher Altar , the figures of saints and the reliquary busts to the master of the relief of the altar donated by the Purgold family . The middle relief of the Purgold retable is in the Thuringian Museum (Eisenach) , the wings in the Weimar art collections . The wooden pulpit is on the south side, on the octagonal sound cover with the figure of the risen is the year 1668. A pillar with a herm was subsequently placed under the pulpit , which shows a half-length of a bearded man with a book. The cartouche on the pillar shows that it was made around the middle of the 18th century. A wooden baptismal font with ornamentation similar to the pulpit dates from the same time. The fragment of a cross stone is walled in flush with the north side of the nave . In the north outer wall of the nave there are some bricked-up windows and a doorway, which were only partially plastered . A crutch cross is carved into the upper part of the cross stone from the former Romanesque structure. Three steel bells were cast in 1920 and 1948. The organ with 15 registers , divided into 2 manuals and a pedal , was built in 1914 by Emil Heerwagen .
