Lindenstruth, Kr. Gießen, Hessen
Lindenstruth is a small village just outside Reiskirchen, east of Gießen in the German State of Hessen. From 1604 to 1806, the village was part of the County (Landgrafschaft) of Hessen-Darmstadt in the Holy Roman Empire.
Today, it is administratively part of the municipality of Reiskirchen.
Church:
The Gothic-style Evangelical Church in Lindenstruth dates back to 1370. The nave was extended in 1740-1741 and a renovation at the time gave it a definitive Baroque form. A renovation in 1912 uncovered former paintings and inscriptions which were restored. The current interior dates back to a renovation completed in the 1950s, and this renovation destroyed the paintings and inscriptions.
