St. Agnus, Lutheran church in Köthen, Germany.
The church features a rectangular choir, a bell turret on the western gable, and a square stair tower with a curved cap at the northeast corner.
Princess Gisela Agnes commissioned the construction of St. Agnus between 1694 and 1699, making it the first Lutheran church in the predominantly Reformed city of Köthen.
The interior contains a Gothic wing altar from the 16th century and a reproduction of Lucas Cranach the Younger's 'Dessauer Abendmahl' painting from 1565.
The building underwent extensive restoration work from 1996 to 2012, preserving its architectural elements and religious artifacts for current visitors.
Johann Sebastian Bach attended services at St. Agnus during his tenure as court music director from 1717 to 1723, with his communion chalice remaining in the church.
