The Ammelshain church is a Romanesque choir tower church that was built around 1250. Its floor plan, with its rectangular nave, recessed choir tower and semicircular apse, is typical of the Romanesque village church in the region. The tower has the typical domed Romanesque windows in the upper area.

Inside the church there are galleries on three sides that date from the 16th century. The organ is by Conrad Geißler (Eilenburg) from 1883. The late Gothic sacrament niche and the baroque niche in the chancel are remarkable

Grave monuments of the Thumshirn family, especially the figurative epitaph for Christiane Sophie Thumshirn (died 1725) made of gray and white marble.

The two bells were re-cast in 2005. In 2008 the church was extensively renovated.
