Little is known about the older history of the Stubs village church. There is evidence that a church already existed in Strauch in 1495. At first there was only the small apse in the east of the building visible today, together with a small chapel. In 1567 the small church was enlarged and the current nave was built.

Originally this church belonged to the parish Frauenhain . From 1575 it became a branch church of Hirschfeld and finally independent in 1594.

In 1846 the church was extensively repaired. In 1864 the tower in the west of the nave was built. At the same time new bells were procured. Until then, the bells hung in a wooden tower at the entrance to the church. The Großenhain master builder JC Müller was responsible for the plans for the tower .

Extensive renovation work on the church took place in 1915. The Strauch Church has been a branch church of Skäßchen since 1931 . It was renovated from 1997 to 2000. Since the end of 1998 it has been used for church occasions and events again.

Built in the Romanesque style church shrubs consists of several parts: the one Karner similar apse, today's altar area and a 1763 built with high arched windows provided nave. In the west of the ship there is a square tower with an octagonal bell storey and a pointed helmet.

Furnishing

The interior of the church is flat, as is the choir. The apse, however, is vaulted.

The Gothic Marian altar of the church, in front of which there is a small crypt in the floor, dates from the 16th century. The church is also equipped with an altar shrine from the 19th century. In this there are three late Gothic carved figures, which represent Mary with child between Peter and Paul. The figures were created around 1500. Another carved figure from the second half of the 18th century can be found on the choir wall.

The inventory of the church also includes an oak chest from the 13th century and the death shield of Adam von Köckritz († 1699).
