Hohnstädt church
The Hohnstädt church is a Romanesque choir tower church from the 13th century. The late Gothic chapel with ribbed vaulting from 1480 serves as a sacristy. It has a marble relief altar, a pulpit (Rochlitz porphyry) and a font from 1661. The tower was raised by 17 m in 1896. The choir with apse is bordered by two triumphal arches on transom cornices towards the nave.
In 1999, the Ev.Lutheran parishes of Hohnstädt and Beiersdorf united to form the parish of Hohenstädt-Beiersdorf and formed a sister church relationship with the parishes of Grimma, Nerchau and Döben-Höfgen.
