history
After the medieval predecessor church fell victim to the flames in 1823, the rectangular hall church with retracted choir and three-sided closure was rebuilt in Romanesque forms in 1824–1826 according to plans by Clemens Wenzeslaus Coudray . The church tower , in which there is a chapel with a groin vault , was given a baroque dome in 1904. A flat tent roof forms the top of the tower. The painter Lyonel Feininger turned the tower into a motif.
Furnishing
In the nave storey are lofts built. On the east side is the gallery altar . On the upper floor there is a gallery of columns on both sides of the pulpit with late Gothic carved figures of the twelve apostles .
The following church carvings are exhibited in the Weimar Castle Museum: A Romanesque crucifix , a Gothic crucifixion figure and a Madonna figure. Often they stand with miners in church .

The organ was created in 1823 by Johann Christian Adam Gerhard (1780–1837) with 1035 pipes and a glockenspiel.
