St. Nikolai Church
The Nikolaikirche is a Gothic hall church from the 15th century with the Wendelin chapel to the north from the end of the 13th century. It is known not least for the valuable baroque organ from the student of Gottfried Silbermann's Zacharias Hildebrandt .
Bräunsdorf Chapel
The chapel Bräunsdorf was Romanus Teller in 1722, built in gratitude for the rich blessings of the mountain Bräunsdorfer mines in baroque style. At that time, the construction cost 200 Thaler and a public school was also integrated into the building called the prayer house . The main church building, however, always remained the Langhennersdorf church, so services were held in Bräunsdorf only four times a year on Sundays and on the days of penance. However, every Sunday afternoon prayer was given.
At the beginning of the 19th century the chapel fell into disrepair, and in 1809 it was damaged by lightning. The then landowner v. Kleefeld then planned to convert it into a factory building, but was unable to realize his plans due to lack of funds. With the takeover of the manor by the Kingdom of Saxony and the establishment of the state orphanage in 1824, the church building became an institutional church, looked after by two clergymen, and the responsibility of the state church was removed. Church services for the residents of Bräunsdorf, by the pastor from Langhennersdorf, took place only occasionally, but the public school stayed in the building until 1910 and the afternoon prayer hours continued. The chapel was extensively renovated and rebuilt by the State of Saxony in 1824, an organ was added in 1826 and a tower in the historicist style was added in 1905, which was demolished in 2004 due to its disrepair.
Today the listed chapel is in a very desolate condition, but it was auctioned off in May 2007 with great regional media attention. The structure of the building is to be assessed as a special feature, as the teaching and living rooms are on the ground floor and the church on the first floor. In addition, the high arched windows and the pulpit altar with a depiction of the Last Supper by Lucas Cranach the Elder are visible. J. from the 16th century.

Church services were also held in the Reichenbach chapel, by the pastor from Langhennersdorf, four times a year and on days of penance and there were regular Sunday afternoon prayers . Today church services take place regularly, almost every Sunday.
