Church of St. Gotthard in Jahna. Info: A late Gothic hall church, dated according to a building inscription to the year 1534. The church was built on the alluvial land of the former Muldental valley, so that the church tower already leaned during construction. A building that shapes the local image and landscape, valuable in terms of building and church history.

According to the information board: Details about the construction and construction period of the church "St. Gotthard" in Jahna are as much in the dark of history as its exact year of origin. It is known that a first church stood on the site of the current building from around 1150. Since the church tower was built on poorly load-bearing alluvial sand, the ground under part of the church tower obviously gave way immediately after its construction. It got its characteristic inclination of 4 centimeters per 1 meter of height, which has not changed since then. The inclination of the tower is particularly clear when looking at the door, which was installed vertically in 1834.
