Culture and History
St. Martin Church in Mertendorf was inaugurated in its present form in 1817. The church has a separate, freestanding bell house dating from 1868, rather than an attached tower. Inside, there is a two-storey horseshoe gallery with an organ and, in the east, a pulpit altar.
The present-day Gothic church stands in Großgestewitz; a predecessor building is documented by 1424 at the latest. A Nikolaus chapel that was independent by 1510 at the latest now forms the northern extension of the church.
