    The first church was built in 1605 to replace a medieval chapel. In 1786 the new church was built around the old one and then the old church was demolished. The Protestant town church is a single-nave, classicist church building. After a long interruption, the tower was not completed until 1851. The altarpiece Calvary came to the church in 1998. The monumental painting by the Gotha court painter Paul Emil Jacobs was created in 1844 for the Augustinian church there; it had been almost forgotten since the church was renovated in 1938/39 before it was rediscovered, restored and donated to Hohenleuben. The organ from 1852 was made by Christoph Opitz. Under the church is the tomb of the Reuss-Köstritz house. It was built by Count Heinrich XXIV in 1741 for himself and his family. 23 family members were buried here until 1850.
