Ev.-Luth. Christophoruskirche

The hall church, which has been rebuilt several times, dates back to the 13th century. The furnishings of the church include an altar dating from around 1680. The pulpit with its pillar structure featuring Christ and the Evangelists was created around 1650, the ornamentally decorated chalice-shaped baptismal font made of porphyry around 1613. The late Gothic, carved figures of saints from the 16th century standing in a shrine on the south side of the choir come from the altar of the church in Zeschwitz, which was excavated in 1942. On the west gallery is the organ built by the Donati brothers in 1794.
