The church is of late Romanesque origin and was changed to a baroque church in 1734, with the tower with a square floor plan being placed in front of the church in the west. It was one of the most visible terrain points in the Zerbst area: the castle and Nicolaikirche in Zerbst, Friederikenberg Castle (near Tochheim, only the entrance portal of the former main entrance remains) and the onion dome of the Hohenlepte church.

The stone building, consisting of a nave and a retracted choir, suffered severe damage from shelling in 1945. Since then, the nave has been missing its roof. The choir room has been used for church services since 1976.

The tower had become so dilapidated over the years that it was in danger of collapsing. The Hohenlepte Church Support Group, founded in May 2000, is committed to preserving the church tower, whose renovation was completed in December 2001. The parish received financial support from Lotto-Toto GmbH, the Hohenleple community, the Anhalt regional church in Dessau, and the Niederlepte parish. Hohenlepte, Nutha and other sponsors.
