St.-Otto-Kirche, Baroque church in Wechselburg, Germany.

St.-Otto-Kirche is a plastered rubble-stone baroque hall church with a recessed choir ending in a three-eighth polygonal apse and round-arch windows. Its high west tower stands on a square plan, crowned by a hood and lantern, with coloured frames, cornices and corner accents. Inside, a stucco ceiling dated 1734 sits above a high cove, and two-tiered galleries on three sides lead to carved and painted loges.

A Romanesque tower base from around 1200 survives from the predecessor church, which was damaged by fire in 1604. The dilapidated building was demolished in 1730 and rebuilt by 1737; the tower top was added in 1765 to plans by Johann Hermann. Restoration work followed in 1967/1968, 1983/1984 and 1995.

The church is also documented as the Hospitalkirche or Ottilienkirche. Its furnishings form a single ensemble from the 1730s, with marbled surfaces throughout. On the east side, carved and painted gallery fronts mark the manorial loges and small private prayer rooms, and the upper north loge keeps its stucco decoration.

The church is located in Wechselburg, Saxony, and welcomes visitors interested in observing religious architecture and historical craftsmanship. Check ahead for current opening times, as they may vary seasonally or for special occasions.

The organ, built by Johann Jacob Schramm in 1771, has 26 stops on two manuals and pedal. Its tin front pipes were removed for war use in 1917; Eule Orgelbau made a new tin prospect in 1934 and restored the instrument in 1960 and 1989. The stucco ceiling above carries the date 1734.
