Church in Schlieffenberg

The Church in Schlieffenberg is a three-nave brick building with basilica layout and cross shape, featuring a polygonal choir and a western tower with sandstone spire. The grounds include a modern mourning hall in the northwest area and a war memorial beside the western gable.

The building was constructed from 1854 to 1859 following designs by Nuremberg architect Carl Alexander von Heideloff as a foundation by Graf von Schlieffen. This construction period marked a time of growing neo-Gothic architecture in the region.

The interior displays neo-Gothic decorations with an altarpiece showing a crucifixion scene featuring only two crosses. These details shape the religious experience when entering the building.

The grounds are easily accessible on foot and the architecture is fully visible from outside. Visitors should check ahead about interior access times, as opening hours may be limited.

The wooden pulpit features an intricately carved sound cover with detailed tracery patterns and a central spire that enhances the interior space. This handcrafted detail shows the care taken in finishing the building's interior.
