Jerichow, Germany

. . . THIS MAY TAKE A MOMENT OR TWO . . .

This is the church at Jerichow.  

This cloister flourished under the Premonstratensian Order 

from the 13th to the 16th centuries.  "Kloster Jerichow" was 

taken by the Lutherans in the Reformation in the 1530s 

and this church is now a Lutheran Parish. 

Modern altar, placed in front of the sanctuary bridge.
