Teichröda village church
According to the inscription on the south front of the church tower in the west, the listed hall church „Simon and Judah“ was begun in 1505. It was altered in 1636, 1672, 1818 and 1849, as is noted on the portal in the south. The chancel, built on a rectangular floor plan, and the room adjoining it to the south date from the previous building. The church tower has three stone storeys, on top of which there is a slated quadrangular storey covered with a low octagonal curved dome crowned by an open lantern.
There are three arched windows each on the west, north and south sides of the second floor. There are also arched windows in the octagon. The nave is covered with a crippled hipped roof. The first floor of the tower is spanned by a groined vault. The choir, which today serves as a sacristy, opens to the hall through an ogival belt arch. The church furnishings include a pulpit altar from the early 19th century. The interior of the hall and choir is spanned by wooden barrel vaults. The nave has single-storey galleries on the south and north sides and two-storey galleries on the west side. The baptismal font dates from the late 15th century.
