The Castle Church of St. Trinitatis still bears witness to the former splendour.

Its history is closely linked to musical personalities such as Georg Friedrich Handel and Johann Sebastian Bach. This is how Handel's talent on the organ was discovered. Johann Sebastian Bach bore the title of “Weissenfels Court Kapellmeister by birth” and composed the Jagdkantante and Schäferkantante for Duke Christian von Sachsen-Weißenfels. He composed his Toccata in F major for the organ of the Weißenfels Castle Church. The organ work of the former Förner organ from 1673 was renewed in 1985 by the Voigt company.

The cornerstone of the castle church was laid in 1663. The stuccos are by Giovanni Caroveri and Batholomeo Quadri. The pulpit altar was designed by the Schneeberg artist Johann Heinrich Böhme the Elder. Ä. In 1682 the church was consecrated.

Below the sanctuary is the princely call of the Dukes of Saxony-Weissenfels and their families. Between 1669 and 1775, 38 magnificent coffins, 28 of them made of tin and ten of wood, were brought into the crypt. From 1991 to 1995 extensive renovation and restoration measures took place.
