Hohe Kirche Lemgow

The High Church of Lemgow.

A cemetery of five acres with old trees, in particular an old lime tree avenue and four gates give an impressive framework for this completely free standing church, which is dedicated to John the Baptist. For centuries it is the central place of worship for the twelve villages of the Lemgow.
The mighty brick tower originates from the 13th century, the apsis in field stone building method from that 14th century, both romanesque with gothic style elements.

The organ (II/17) was built in 1856 by Eduard Meyer, Hanover: A beautiful instrument with dark, typically romantic tone qualities.
