St. Boniface Church was completed in 1567. Predecessor buildings probably date back to the 8th century. The oldest documented mention of the church dates back to 1368. Until 1928, the town piper lived in the church tower with his family and journeymen.

The exterior of St. Boniface's Church has a late Gothic style, while the interior gives the impression of a Baroque room. The bend in the building line of the nave and choir suggest that the two components were not built at the same time.

The choir room is adorned with a five-part winged altar from the 15th century, which was probably created in the Möbius workshop in Erfurt. The mensa bears the date 1482, the top the date 1491.

The organ, whose construction was begun by Johann Georg Krippendorf from Kölleda in 1701, is particularly worth hearing and seeing. Today it is one of the few remaining larger baroque organs in Thuringia. In 2014, the organ received new front pipes. Another special feature is the glockenspiel, which can be controlled via the keyboard. The two timpani from 1688, which have also been renovated, are used for special concerts.

The galleries are decorated with paintings of Old Testament stories. They were painted over in 1793 and uncovered again in 1913.

In 2016 the tower staircase was renewed, since then tower tours are possible again.

In 2019, the expansion of the sacristy was completed. The Romanesque groined vault and the Romanesque round-arched windows suggest that this beautiful room was built in the 14th century.

The church is regularly used for services and concerts from Easter to Reformation Day. Extensive renovation work is scheduled for the coming years.

Even if it is not possible for us to keep the church open on a regular basis, we are happy to arrange a visit by appointment and look forward to your visit.
