  • The old village church of Biesdorf dates from the late Middle Ages. The church building has had a turbulent history. In 1754, the building burned down completely, and was rebuilt two years later. An organ was placed for the first time in 1824. The building was enlarged in 1896-1897 and equipped with a new tower. The building was largely lost due to bombings on January 20, 1944. In the church was an organ of the firm Gebr. Dinse from 1898, which had been converted and expanded by Alexander Schuke in 1938.
  • In 1950-1951 the church was rebuilt in a more simple form, with useful parts of the walls and the tower being restored in its original form. The church was now given the name Gnadenkirche. In 1960 Alexander Schuke placed an organ in the church with seven stops. In 1985 a new organ was delivered by the company Voigt. The Schuke organ was transferred to the church in Biesdorf-Süd.
