history
In 1200 monks from Paulinzella built the Antonius chapel here . In 1683 it received an organ and a bell with a bell house and a church tower .
The village church soon became a town church . The dilapidated church, which had become too small for the growing number of inhabitants in the course of industrialization , was torn down and replaced by a new building in neo-Romanesque style with an imposing west tower in 1864–1866 . The parish received help from Grand Duke Karl-Alexander of Saxony . The organ installed 30 years earlier in the previous building was moved to the new church.
The church is surrounded by a large and wide cemetery .
