Dorfkirche Denstedt

Die Kirche soll wohl ganz schön sein und eine fantastische Orgel haben aber leider meistens verschlossen.Man kann hierer von Weimar, Tiefurt und über Kromsdorf sehr schön herüber wandern.

Sehr schöne Kirche mit berühmter Orgel

This cozy church is the place where Franz Liszt played, experimented and organized his »Orgelconferenzen« / organ conferences. The mechanical organ by the Peterbell brothers, built in 1859/60 features two manuals and pedal and–thanks to it's renovation that we have Michael von Hintzenstern to thank for–can be heard in almost original condition. This organ, with it's multitude of colours and textures–when played by an accomplished musician–is also amazingly well suited for contemporary experimental repertoire.(Photos by Jakob Dietz)
