St. Sebastian (Schartau)
Sankt Sebastian is the Protestant village church of Schartau in Saxony-Anhalt .
Architecture and history
The church is a late Romanesque building made of field stones, consisting of an elongated hall, an equally wide transverse rectangular west tower and a square, narrow and lower chancel in the east, to which a semicircular apse is attached. Two windows from the time of construction are still preserved in it, while the other windows were given baroque shapes after the fire of 1759 through enlargement and segment arches . In the choir and in the nave, walled up windows as well as the walled up north portal and the likewise walled up southern priest door can be seen. The nave, tower and chancel have gable roofs, the apse is closed with a semicircular conical roof. There are a few slotted windows in the tower . The bell storey was executed in half-timbered construction and is more recent.
Inside, the nave and the chancel are spanned by barrel vaults and separated by a round triumphal arch . A gallery with an organ with a neo-Gothic prospect is attached to the west wall . The church was repaired between 1989 and 1996.
On the outside of the church there is a pastor's tombstone from 1702 with a bust and a wreath of leaves.
The single-storey plastered parsonage was built after the village fire in 1759 as a simple building with a mansard roof that has since been redesigned .
