Kirche Nassau, church building in Frauenstein, Germany
Kirche Nassau is a church building in Frauenstein built in 1526 from gray stone with a simple rectangular form. The interior is lit by small windows and houses a notable organ by Gottfried Silbermann from 1748 that features 19 registers and two manuals.
The building was erected in 1526 to replace an older structure destroyed by fire, demonstrating the community's resilience. The organ was installed from 1745 to 1748 by Silbermann and represents an important craft achievement from that period.
Kirche Nassau takes its name from its location in the village of Nassau. The interior feels simple and reverent, with wooden galleries lining the side walls and providing extra seating for the congregation.
The building is easy to reach and sits centrally in the village where it is easy to spot. Visitors can explore the church on foot and should note that the windows are small and the light may feel dim.
The three bronze bells date from different centuries (1577, 1619, 1681) and hang in an oak wood frame. The largest bell weighs over one ton and produces a deep tone that has sounded for hundreds of years.
