Kieritzsch Church
Originally a Romanesque choir tower church. It was redesigned between 1697 and 1702. The free-standing pulpit altar and the patron's box date from this period. A late Gothic sacrament niche has been preserved in the sacristy. On the west gallery is the Schlag&Söhne organ from 1907/08.
Gottlieb Schlag (1803 - 1889) learned from Gottlieb Schönburg in Schafstädt. From 1834 to 1869 he was the owner of the company Christian Gottlieb&Johann Karl Schlag in Schweidnitz. The company Schlag&Söhne worked under this company name from 1869 to 1923. Founded in the tradition of mechanical organ building, the organ built in 1907/08 for the church in Kieritzsch was made with cone chests and pneumatic action. II/12. The primarily fundamental disposition corresponds entirely to the sound ideal of this era. In 2010/11 a general overhaul was carried out by the company Bochmann, Kohren-Sahlis.
