St. Wenzel, Protestant church in Peißen, Landsberg, Saxony-Anhalt

St. Wenzel in Peißen consists of a round west tower of rubble masonry and a single-nave hall church with a small semicircular apse. The tower shaft and its 13.8-metre pointed spire are the same height, and its sound windows are Romanesque biforia. The nave has round-arched windows and corner quoins, and the flat interior has a wooden coffered ceiling.

Around 950 a rubble-stone round tower was built at Peißen as a refuge, reached by ladders through openings about 10 m up, now walled shut. Around 1200 a Romanesque nave was added and the church dedicated to Saint Wenceslas. After severe damage in the 17th century it was rebuilt after 1680, remodelled in Baroque style in 1701 and rededicated in 1703 as St. Trinitatis; a Historicist rebuild followed in 1852.

The church was dedicated to Saint Wenceslaus around 1200, but after the Baroque rebuilding it was consecrated in 1703 as St. Trinitatis, and the old name has returned in common use. The Gothic carved altar holds figures of saints under a Gothic crest, and the massive Romanesque font is decorated with symbols and round-arch friezes.

The church stands in the Peißen district of Landsberg; the round west tower with its pointed helm rises 13.8 m and is visible from afar. The entrance hall is on the south side, while the sources also mention a north-side hall built in 1852. The tower's sound windows are Romanesque biforia, and bricked-up openings about 10 m up recall its use as a refuge tower.

The tower holds two bells: the larger, cast in 1483, weighs about 1,400 kg and is richly decorated; the smaller, 580 kg, was cast in 2010 at the Lauchhammer art and bell foundry. They sound the notes e′ and a′. A third bell, judged to have a "poor sound", was lost in 1917.
