St Mary’s Church in Gera-Untermhaus
The church dates back to a medieval chapel built in about 1200, which was presumably donated by the monastery in Mildenfurth. The oldest parts of the building – the tower, chancel and sections of the nave – were built of Falka sandstone in Late Gothic style. The preserved winged altar dating from the 15th century is an art history treasure – a masterpiece of High Gothic art. It was a gift from two Gera merchant families and was probably made near the Franciscan monastery in Saalfeld.
