Church Nassau

The first of these gems in the Eastern Ore Mountains is the village church in Nassau. It was built in 1526 on the site of a previous building that had been destroyed by fire. The new church in the form of the typical Saxon hall churches was then rebuilt in the Baroque period. The window jambs and the ridge turret date from this period. The main attraction of the interior is Gottfried Silbermann's organ, built in 1746-47. Following its restoration in 1998, the organ in Nassau church is one of the great organ builder's best-preserved instruments. Church services and concerts are held regularly.
