St. Mary’s Church Strehla

The Protestant city church of Strehla is a late Gothic church in Strehla in the district of Meißen in Saxony. It belongs to the parish of Strehla in the church district of Großenhain of the Evangelical-Lutheran State Church of Saxony and was richly furnished with an altar, pulpit, and tombs in the early modern period.

The oldest structural components of the city church of Strehla are the foundations of the tower, dating back to the 12th century. The first documented mention of the church occurred in 1238. The sacristy was built at the beginning of the 15th century, while the choir with a five-eighths closure is dated to the end of the 15th century. The nave, constructed from plastered rubble stone masonry, was designed as a three-nave, four-bay hall church but was no longer vaulted and received a flat ceiling like the choir.
