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.

Commemoration of the victory of Henry I over the Dalemingier, a Slavic tribe, in 929. "Presumably due to the similarity in names Gana - Jahna, it was assumed for many years that the famous battle for the Slavic fortress of Gana must have taken place here in the village or in its vicinity in 929. This even led to an elaborately organized 1000-year celebration of the village's founding in Jahna in 1929. A rock with the inscription 929 - 1929, placed on the Jahnatalweg in the immediate vicinity of the church, still bears witness to this festival today." Meanwhile, the remains of the Gana fortress have most likely been found near Stauchitz. The castle and the village probably both took their names from the little river that runs through our area.
