Three quarters of the total costs were borne by Duke Georg II , who significantly influenced the location and the design. In 1956, damage led to a partial revision of the painting.

In the northeast there is a semicircular apse and on the opposite side a four-storey tower with a pointed spire and the main portal with vestibule and arcades.

Monument ensemble
The monument ensemble for the southern and western marketplace development consists of the buildings Marktplatz 1 to 7. The marketplace is one of the largest in southern Thuringia. The west side with the buildings Marktplatz 1 to 5, including the town hall, was built in 1923 based on designs by Gustav Baumbach. Ludwig Friedrich planned house number 2. The two- to three-storey eaves-standing massive buildings are characterized by neo-baroque style forms, slate-clad basement floors and slate-covered mansard roofs. The two-story post office on the south side was built in 1934 based on a design by the Sonneberg architects Franz Boxberger and Ernst Herbart. The neighboring savings bank of the same height from 1935 was planned by Julius Friedrich Stuhlmann from Steinach. A relief with reference to saving decorates the entrance on the eaves side, and a relief with children playing on the gable facade.
Soil monuments
In the Steinbächlein there was late medieval and early modern iron ore mining, which is documented for the years 1598/99. A Pingenfeld and a tunnel mouth hole south of the Schmiftbruch testify to this.
