Bergkirche Schierke

Bergkirche Schierke is a church in Gothic Revival style located in Wernigerode with notable interior furnishings from different periods. The interior features a red granite choir, an oak wood pulpit, and stained glass windows donated by various benefactors.

Construction of the church began in 1876 under the order of Count Otto zu Stolberg-Wernigerode and was completed in 1881. This Gothic Revival structure was built during a period when such architectural styles were widely favored in Germany.

The church serves as a gathering place for community events and hosts musical performances and worship services that shape the religious life of the area. It functions as a meeting point for people from Wernigerode and the surrounding region.

The church is easily accessible on foot and the interior can be visited during regular opening hours. It is recommended to check in advance if special events are planned, as these may affect general access.

A Renaissance-era stove created between 1578 and 1616 displays biblical scenes, including the parable of the prodigal son. This stove is a rare example of medieval ceramic art that is seldom encountered in modern churches.
