As early as 1426 there was a small church in Ralbitz, which was destroyed by the Hussites during their march through Lusatia. As a result, the residents of the surrounding villages built a new church together, which was consecrated in 1515. Because 15 surrounding parishes were incorporated into the parish of Ralbitz in the 18th century, work began on the construction of a larger church in 1752, which was later to become one of the most impressive buildings in the region. When the church cemetery became too small for the growing community in the middle of the 19th century, it was greatly expanded in 1852. During the Second World War, the parish church burned down as a result of the armed conflicts, and it was not until 1948 that the church was rebuilt and consecrated to Saint Catherine. The cemetery has been preserved in this form from 1948 to this day.

The uniform white and gold wooden crosses symbolize the equality of all people before God.
