The Dobraschütz church was first mentioned in connection with the founding of the Franciscan monastery in Altenburg in 1290. Even then there was apparently a chapel in Dobraschütz that belonged to the parish of Mehna. A visitation report from the Reformation period from 1528 then said: "The Mehna pastor has a branch called Dobersitz with the associated villages of Cosse (Oberkossa) and Neundorf (Naundorf)." Around 1607 the chronicler and pastor Johann Tauchwitz reported from Monstab from a small and ramshackle chapel on a hill in the middle of the village.

The first mention of a church dates back to the 16th century, which was demolished in 1751 due to building defects. Today's baroque church was then built in 1752.

The church was built in 1751/52 on the site of a previous building as a rectangular, plastered hall with a slated, tiled tower and lantern.

A special feature is its almost completely preserved interior and the rich, coherent painting in blue peasant baroque. Of note are four epitaphs and 13 funeral crowns dating from the period between 1791 and 1811.

Zacharias Kresse (1800-1876), a native of the village, became a prominent local poet.
