Tips from the Community
The construction history of the church, which is medieval at its core, is unclear. The church tower and nave were built at different times. The church was remodeled between 1541 and 1577. The nave's current appearance, with its mansard roof and the staircase to the galleries on the south side, was largely acquired in the 18th century. The mansard roof of the nave has a chamfered eaves. The church tower to the west has four stories and features tracery windows from the 15th century in its upper sections. The hall church has a recessed, three-sided chancel. Around 1787, the church underwent extensive renovations. The tower received its bulbous cupola, topped by an open lantern crowned with a finial. The interior of the nave and chancel was unified into a single space by a shared barrel vault. The base of a groin vault remains in the chancel. A simple pulpit dates from 1792. The round-arched opening to the groin-vaulted tower has been bricked up. On the ground floor of the tower are carved figures from a late Gothic winged altarpiece: a bishop, Saint Margaret, Saint John, an unknown saint, Saint Barbara and Saint Bartholomew, as well as three busts of apostles. The organ was built in 1922 by the Petersilie company from Gotha. (Source: Wikipedia)

Under the Harburg, you can skip the walk through the construction site further up. However, there's a barrier in the middle of the route that spoils the fun.

Over 100 year old kiln from a former gypsum factory that was still in production until the 1990s.

A guided tour gives you an interesting and funny insight into the production of grain brandy and we enjoyed it too. We can absolutely recommend a tour like this and the cost of 9 euros per person is a real bargain.
