Emmauskirche, Medieval church in Borna, Germany
The rectangular stone church measures 14.5 meters in length, 8.9 meters in width, and reaches a height of 19.6 meters with its characteristic tower.
First documented in 1297, the church features original Romanesque architecture with a wooden Renaissance ceiling supported by a single central column.
The interior contains a preserved pulpit altar, a Neo-Renaissance organ from 1850, and two bells cast in Apolda in 1829.
The church opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00 during summer months and from 10:00 to 16:00 in winter, with modified hours on Sundays after services.
In 2007, the entire 665-ton church structure was transported 12 kilometers from Heuersdorf to Borna to preserve it from mining operations.
