History and architecture
The church in Ebersbach is a stately building consisting of an elongated hall with an elliptical hall adjoining it to the east . The western hall building was built in 1682, the eastern one was supposedly built in the years 1726–1733 by an unknown Italian master builder. In 1901 the roof turret of the rotunda , which had been removed in 1872, was rebuilt; a restoration was carried out in 1933.
The structure is a plastered quarry stone building with plaster structure and arched windows. A small round sacristy was added to the east. In the south of the extension there is an entrance structure with an octagonal floor plan. The roof, similar to a mansard roof, is designed with segmented arched windows, the roof turret in the east on an octagonal floor plan with a drum, lantern and curved hood.

On the south side of the west building there is a portal with a basket arch and side pillars, which has a keystone with a Bible verse in the wide cornice .
The hall is closed with a wooden barrel vault that widens to the east and closes off like a dome. Circumferential, richly designed galleries rest on bulging, framed, wooden square pillars, three-storey on the north and south sides as well as in the eastern part, two-storey on the west side and semicircular protruding on the upper floor in 1885.
