Markuskirche

The Markuskirche features a central dome reaching 30 meters high, with an octagonal drum and statues of four evangelists at the roof corners.

The church was constructed in 1710 under the direction of Baron Georg Christoph von Hammerstein, following architectural influences from his travels through Italy.

The interior walls display numerous grave plates of the Saldern and Hammerstein families, while the pulpit bears the year 1710 inscription.

The Markuskirche serves as both a religious gathering place and a concert venue, featuring an organ installed in 1960 for musical performances.

The church follows a Greek cross floor plan with octagonally chamfered corners in the altar area, leading to its local nickname Little St Peter's.
