Dorfkirche Schartau, Romanesque fieldstone church in Schartau, Germany
The Dorfkirche Schartau features an octagonal bell tower with arched openings, constructed with massive fieldstones that form its structural foundation.
Built around 1205 as a fortified church, the building provided protection for local residents during periods of conflict in medieval Saxony-Anhalt.
The church displays wooden carvings from 1420 on its south wall, depicting Mary, Saint Barbara, and Saint Anthony of Padua.
The church received 15,000 euros in 2021 for maintenance work, including masonry anchors and joint repairs to preserve its structural integrity.
The pulpit, created by Caspar Hoppenstedt from Arendsee in 1674, demonstrates detailed craftsmanship through its intricate woodwork designs.
