    The listed church dates back to its core to a chapel, which was cared for in the late Middle Ages by the parish Marktgölitz. The chapel is occupied by a picture in the atlas of the geographer Paul Pfinzing from 1595. In 1722 the parish was built independently and in 1746/47 a new church was built according to the plans of the architect Krauße from Kahla with a floor plan of 18.5 meters in length and 9.5 meters in width. The construction costs amounted to 1423 Taler, 21 groschen and 2 ½ Pfennig (Wikipedia).

    As part of a comprehensive renovation of the church in 1911, Curt Steinberg redesigned the church in full color, preserving, reconstructing and supplementing the original baroque setting.

    The Baroque St. Matthew's Church in Spechtsbrunn was built in 1746. Its interior is distinguished by its rich paintings and a valuable organ from 1911, a gift from Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen. The church is a fine example of Baroque architecture in the Thuringian Slate Mountains and was re-consecrated in 2008 after extensive restoration work.
