Village Church of Groß Leuthen

The village church of Groß Leuthen is the church building located in the village of Groß Leuthen in the Dahme-Spreewald district of Brandenburg and is a listed monument. The church belongs to the Protestant Hoffnungskirchengemeinde Groß Leuthen and surrounding areas in the parish district of Groß Leuthen-Zaue in the Niederlausitz church district, and is part of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia.

The original village church of Groß Leuthen was built according to plans by the architect J. C. Freidmeiler, and the west tower was constructed in 1748. In the 19th century, the Groß Leuthen parish belonged to the Lübben superintendency. In 1857, the church, which was at risk of collapse, was torn down except for the church tower. The newly built nave was constructed in the round arch style of the Schinkel school. It is made of field stones with borders of cast iron stones. The church tower is made of brick and plastered. On the tower, there is an octagonal upper floor and a flared hood with a lantern on top. In 1997, the church underwent extensive restoration.
