Georgenkirche, Church building in Rötha, Germany

The church features a blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque architectural elements, with a distinctive octagonal tower crowned by a curved dome.

Originally constructed in 1101 as a Romanesque pillar basilica, the church underwent modifications in 1510 when the choir space was rebuilt in late Gothic style.

The Silbermann organ, installed in 1721, contains 23 registers across two manuals and pedal, representing a significant example of Baroque musical engineering.

Regular concerts and religious services take place in the church, while the pilgrim room in the vicarage accommodates visitors throughout the year.

The interior displays von Friesen family tombs from the 16th to 18th centuries, along with a restored 1510 triumphal cross mounted on the wall.
