There was a chapel in Herrenhof from the 12th to the 17th century. It was first mentioned in 1143 in a document from the Reinhardsbrunn monastery. At that time, the monasteries of Reinhardsbrunn and Georgenthal were fighting over the Herrenhof district. The dispute ended in 1186 in Georgenthal's favor. At the end of the 17th century, the dilapidated chapel was replaced by a new building from 1692. Four years later, the church was consecrated as a branch of Hohenkirchen. The arduous route for churchgoers and schoolchildren from the lower village (today's area of Georgenthaler Straße, Alte Straße, Schönauer Straße) across (through) the Apfelstädt below the church was only made easier in 1778 with the construction of the navigable bridge. In the upper village of Herrenhof (Nauendorfer Straße), a major fire in the night of February 26-27, 1882, destroyed five houses and nine barns within a short period of time, including the previous chapel from the 17th century. Only the massive church tower, which was only completed around 1839 after a testamentary donation of 4,000 thalers by citizen Johann Christian Beck, escaped complete destruction. The new building was also financed by donations from wealthy residents. Resident Johann Balthasar Cramer (1813–1891) donated 1,800 marks for the purchase of a new organ, flooring, a bell and a chandelier.
