Döblitz Fortified Church
========================

- Church

The medieval village churches in Döblitz and Schüptitz are normally referred to in literature as “fortified churches”, as they were surrounded by an embankment or their tower had a protruding shape. 

 This small choir tower church with its rectangular nave is one of the oldest preserved mission chapels in the Saale-Orla District and was probably founded by Benedictine monks from Saalfeld at the beginning of the 13th century. A fresco dating from the 14th/15th century was uncovered inside the building during the 1960s: it shows Christ in a mandorla between Mary and John as well as Saint Andrew. The church was originally surrounded by an embankment with a moat and it has been possible to partly restore this as an archaeological monument.
