history
Kemlitz was first mentioned in a document in 1217 and a church in 1253. The existing sacred building was badly damaged in the Thirty Years' War and only replaced by a new wooden building in 1715. In 1842 the place and with it the church patronage came into the possession of the landlord Carl August von Engelbrecht. Only a year later it burned in the village and the wooden church was destroyed. As early as 1847 Engelbrecht sold the estate to the heirs of the district councilor Friedrich Ernst and the chamber councilor Friedrich Wilhelm von Unger, who from then on managed it together. Under her influence, craftsmen built a new building in 1856 based on a design by the building inspector Rupprecht, which was renovated in the early 2000s. In the 21st century, the church is used for cultural events such as photo and art exhibitions.
