Kirche Seifersdorf, Lutheran church in Wachau, Germany

Kirche Seifersdorf is a post-Gothic hall church built in 1604/05 in Seifersdorf, part of Wachau, Saxony. It has a plastered exterior with a five-eighth polygonal apse and buttresses, a square west tower topped by an octagonal storey with a curved hood and lantern, and a net vault inside. The churchyard contains thirteen gravestones, several outbuildings, and an enclosing wall.

The church was first documented in 1312 and later came under the control of Alt-Zella monastery. Burgrave Otto II von Dohna played a key role by transferring the entire settlement to the monastery.

The churchyard holds the grave of Margaretha von Schleierweber (died 1790), marked by a Neoclassical vase on a pedestal with a snake coiled around it. Beside the choir is the grave of Jenny von Brühl (died 1884), wife of Carl Friedrich Moritz von Brühl. Inside, before the altar, a plain bronze slab covers the graves of Hanns Moritz von Brühl, his wife Christina, founder of the Seifersdorfer Tal, and their son Carl Friedrich Moritz von Brühl.

The church is located on Kirchberg street in Seifersdorf and can be easily reached using GPS coordinates. Visitors should allow time to explore the entire grounds including the outbuildings and boundary wall.

The altar was probably first made as a sandstone epitaph for Dietrich von Grünrod, who died in 1603, and was later enlarged into an epitaph altar. His kneeling figure, carved in full relief, fills a niche, with a small alabaster crucifix above right and an inscription tablet above left.
