The baroque castle church within the fortress Ziegenhain was built between 1665 and 1667 as a reformed preaching church, on August 30th of that year the hall church was opened in the presence of Landgrave Wilhelm VII. The building was damaged by bombing during the Seven Years' War in 1761. Johann Andreas Heinemann installed the organ in 1769/71, which was expanded and rebuilt in the 19th and 20th centuries. In 1927 the roof ridge was rebuilt and renovated, and in 1962 the interior was redesigned.

A statue in front of the town church commemorates the promulgation of the Ziegenhain church discipline order, with which Landgrave Philipp von Hessen attempted to integrate the Anabaptist movement into the state church in 1538.
