Holy Spirit, Fortified church in Grafengehaig, Germany.

Zum Heiligen Geist in Grafengehaig is a three-aisled hall church whose present masonry dates from 1448, with nave core walls resting on remains of a 13th/14th-century predecessor. Four massive round pillars carry the vault. The main tower and stair turret were added around 1507; the white exterior has a clock face, salmon-pink window surrounds and two slender roof spires.

A first chapel likely stood here in the 11th or 12th century; a 13th-century church burned down and was replaced in the 14th century. The present massive structure was built in 1448, with the nave renewed in 1507 and the main tower added then. The fortifications with four gates were probably raised in 1455 after the Hussite unrest; only the south gate at the market, renewed in 1732, survives.

The church is Evangelical Lutheran and still holds services for Grafengehaig. The only surviving gate of the 1455 churchyard fortification, renewed in 1732, faces the market to the south; the Mesnerhaus, built around 1640 as a schoolhouse after the Thirty Years' War, closes the wall to the west.

The church stands in the village centre; the only surviving gate of the 1455 fortification, renewed in 1732, faces the market to the south. The ring wall runs from east through south to west, ending at the former schoolhouse built around 1640, now the sexton's house. The churchyard was enlarged in 1835.

The ring of walls around the church was probably built in 1455 after the Hussite wars and also served as the cemetery fortification. Of the original four gates aligned to the cardinal directions, only the south gate at the market square survives, renewed in 1732; the wall runs east, south and west to the sexton's house of about 1640.
