The Evangelical Church of St. Vitus is a late Gothic hall church in Schloßvippach in the Sömmerda district in Thuringia . It belongs to the parish area Schloßvippach in the parish of Apolda-Buttstädt of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .

History and architecture

The stately late Gothic church is located in the lower part of the village and was built around 1500 in quarry stone with a three-sided choir and a retracted west tower. The nave and the choir are illuminated by tall tracery windows. Double covered galleries are built on the long walls. The tower has a Baroque dome , and a crucifixion relief is walled in on the upper floor, presumably from the beginning of the 16th century. The interior is closed off by a flat ceiling and is surrounded by two-story galleries from the 17th century. An ogival sacraments niche is set into the east wall of the choir .

Furnishing

The pulpit altar was created in the years 1706–1712 by Valentin Ditmar from Erfurt. A winged altar from the years 1510/1520 is built into it and is attributed to the master of the Meckfeld altar. In today's reredos , the central shrine, an artistically valuable relief of the Lamentation of Christ is embedded. Six finely carved figures of saints can be found in each of the wings built into the passages. The scenes of Christ in Gethsemane , the flagellation of Christ, the crowning of thorns and the crucifixion can be seen on the painted outer wings next to the passageways at the height of the pulpit . A crucifix dates from the 17th century. Made of sandstone Opferstock dates back to 1612. grave stones reminiscent of Hans Springfeldt († 1654) and Maria S. Springfeldt († 1651).
