Protestant Church, Protestant church building in Dorf Wehlen, Germany.
The Protestant Church in Dorf Wehlen features a three-story west tower from 1744 and a rectangular nave built in 1859. Double galleries run along both sides of the interior, leading to a semi-circular apse topped with a round window.
The church originated around 1100 as a Romanesque structure and gained a Baroque entrance portal with pilasters in later centuries. Modern modifications in the 18th and 19th centuries shaped its present appearance.
The wooden pulpit altar from the early 1800s reflects the craftsmanship of its period and sits as the focal point of worship. A wooden crucifix dating to 1500 stands as a quiet witness to centuries of devotion in this space.
The church is best reached on foot and welcomes visitors interested in its architecture and services. Local information about visiting hours and accessibility can be obtained from nearby sources or in advance.
The church houses an 1831 organ with 18 registers that was restored in 2007, preserving a complete musical instrument from the 19th century. This restoration brings out the full sound intended by the original builders.
