🏛️ An impressive piece of church architecture in the middle of Apolda! The Lutherkirche was built between 1890 and 1894 in the Neo-Gothic style and impresses with its mighty brick towers and the ornate rose window. ⛪✨ 📸 Especially up close, the imposing structure looks truly majestic – a real highlight of the bell city and definitely worth a photo stop! 😊

Super nice idea from the villagers. I've sat here many times and taken great selfies with her and my friends, so a short stop is always worthwhile!

It's always worth a stop here, there's something to eat and delicious beer. It's self-service, but the staff are always very friendly.
