St. Trinitatis

St. Trinitatis is a fieldstone church in Steuden with a single-nave hall structure, characterized by narrow pointed arch windows and a western cross tower with a saddle roof. The building houses four bells, the oldest dating from 1336, all operated through an electrical system installed in 1961 and modernized in 1992.

The church was originally dedicated to Saint Mauritius in the 11th century and underwent major renovations in 1697 and 1741. During these periods of transformation, it received the interior furnishings that continue to define its character today.

The interior features a Baroque pulpit altar with carved Christ figures and winged angels, along with a two-story gallery decorated with geometric patterns. This furnishing shapes how the church looks and invites visitors to observe the details.

The interior is well suited for peaceful viewing of the architectural details and furnishings, with light filtering through the narrow windows creating a distinctive setting. Visitors should watch for uneven floors and plan according to typical church opening hours.

The organ, positioned behind a 1750 Baroque case, was built by Rühlmann in 1915 and features 20 stops on pneumatic cone chests. This instrument combines historical appearance with early modern construction methods.
