Village Church Eiche

The Village Church of Eiche was consecrated in its current form on October 31, 1771. It was built under the direction and significant influence of Frederick the Great by Georg Christian Unger, inspired by the Pantheon in Rome. In 1999, the church was equipped with a tower, the silver-tipped spire of which, shot down by the advancing Soviet army in 1945, now rises 33 meters into the sky.

Opposite the tower lies an extension building, added in 1882 by Emil Gette in the architectural style of the original structure. The small organ, built by Wilhelm Sauer from Frankfurt/Oder, dates from 1882. At the suggestion of Crown Princess Victoria, the organ pipes were adorned with colorful ornaments. Noteworthy are a bronze bell from around 1500 and a depiction of the Last Supper on the altar, which was modeled after Leonardo da Vinci's famous work by the Rhineland portrait painter Egidius Mengelberg.
