St. Georg, Mansfeld

The church features a late Gothic design with a prominent west tower, longhouse extending north, and chancel with three-quarter closure and varying transept attachments.

The base of the tower dates from a 13th century structure, while the current nave and chancel were completed between 1518 and 1520 after a fire in 1498.

The interior contains three medieval altars, including a crucifix and nativity scene, along with 49 paintings depicting New Testament scenes from 1616.

The church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural elements, religious artifacts, and historical connection to Martin Luther's childhood.

Martin Luther served as a choirboy in this church during his youth and later returned to deliver two sermons on October 4, 1545.
