The Protestant church of St. Martini in Zwötzen was built as a neo-Gothic building with yellow brick facing by Julius Zeißig from Leipzig in 1894/95 as a two-aisled hall church with a northeastern bell tower instead of a previous building. The equipment comes from the time of construction. Two carved saints from the Baroque period were taken from the village church, which was demolished in 1894, and a life-size, wooden crucifix from Gera-Kaimberg. A Luther sculpture created by Axel Döhler in the 1950s was newly installed in the church. The colored choir glazing was made in 1984.
