Bach Connection |
|
In Langewiesen J.S. Bach had to examine the organ in the Liebfrauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) on November 28, 1706.
After a couple of fires the late gothic building was replaced in the years between 1675-1680. The northern tower is from 1731/1732, the windows were altered in 1817. In 1991 the church was renovated last.
