This old fortified church from the 13th century is well worth seeing at the gates of the city of Triptis.

Many village churches in the area around Weida, Triptis and Gera date from the early reign of the bailiffs. Its construction was related to the ecclesiastical penetration of the region, which accompanied the expansion of the country in the 12th and 13th centuries. The medieval village churches in Döblitz and Schüptitz are mostly characterized in the literature as "fortified churches" because they were surrounded by a wall or their tower has a cantilevered shape. This small choir tower church with a rectangular nave is one of the oldest surviving mission chapels in the Saale-Orla district, probably founded by Benedictine monks from Saalfeld at the beginning of the 13th century. In the 1960s, a fresco from the 14th/15th century was added to the interior. Century uncovered: it is Christ in Mandorla between Mary and John and Saint Andrew.

The church was originally surrounded by a rampart with a moat, which has since been partially restored as a ground monument.
