Village church Oberseifersdorf, Heritage church in Oberseifersdorf, Germany

The Dorfkirche Oberseifersdorf is a three-aisled gallery hall with a flat painted ceiling, two tiers of wooden galleries on the long sides, and round-arched windows. The nave ends in a semicircular apse, and the west tower has an octagonal bell storey with a hood and lantern. A separate funeral parlour stands on the churchyard.

The church was built in 1717 as a hall church with three aisles and galleries. Its west tower was rebuilt after a lightning strike in 1820, and restorations followed in 1884 and 1899. The painter Bernhardt of Grossschönau decorated the interior in 1753/54, and the wooden winged altar by Daniel Martin of Marienthal dates from 1751.

The altarpiece from 1751 by Daniel Martin of Marienthal depicts the Ascension of Christ in full height from floor to ceiling. Interior paintings from the 1750s show scenes from Christ's life and honor Saints Gallus and Martin throughout the walls.

The building is located in Mittelherwigsdorf municipality and hosts regular services of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. The grounds include a cemetery and war memorial that are open to visitors during daylight hours.

The lower gallery parapets carry painted scenes of Christ's life from the Nativity to the Resurrection and the Last Judgment, while the upper parapets show flower ornaments. The painter Bernhardt of Großschönau created this cycle in 1753/54; the gallery undersides were left unpainted.
