history
After Kanena initially belonged to the Neuwerk monastery according to a document from 1182 , it soon became the domain of the Moritz monastery in Halle . It is assumed that by the end of the 18th century there was a previous Romanesque building , which was dedicated to St. Stephen .
After the Reformation , the church became a branch of the Church of St. Nikolaus von Büschdorf in the middle of the 16th century . It has been a branch of the St. Anna Church in Dieskau since the 18th century .
According to the inscription above the entrance gate and the year on the weather vane, today's church dates from 1793. The one remaining bell was cast in 1843. In 1995 the top of the tower was re-covered with slate; the tower was renovated in 2004. In 2002 the interior was renewed.
