Lobstädt church

The hall church with the west tower dates from the late Romanesque period. The choir room was completed around 1500 . There is still a sacrament niche on the north side of the choir room today An altar wing with carved figures documents the furnishings around 1510. In 1610, the church was badly damaged after a fire. Rebuilding and repairs are documented in 1698, 1839 and 1887. In 1887, the second gallery on the north side was demolished and the tower was given a window on the south side.
The pulpit with its octagonal basket and the relief figures in the round arch niches, which was built around 1650, comes from the church in Zehmen, which was excavated over. The carved crucifix in front of the central choir window comes from the church in Görnitz, which was also dug over.
The Richard Kreutzbach organ from 1887 stands in the west gallery. II/12
