The late Gothic former pilgrimage church is a building from the second half of the 15th century. A large extension on the north side and an elevation of the hall were made around 1600. Restorations were carried out in 1965–69 and since 1994. The tower, the hall and the choir are clearly separated from each other in height. The building is a plastered brick building with a strikingly short hall, which leads into a slightly recessed choir with a five-eighths end. The west tower is built on a square floor plan, the bell storey is octagonal, the end is formed by a hood with a lantern from 1732. The interior is illuminated by round-arched windows, and a round-arched portal is arranged on the northern extension.

Inside, the tower ground floor has a cross-rib vault. The hall has a flat roof, a wide round arch leads to the choir with a net vault. The northern extension is opened to the hall in room-high arcades, which are somewhat concealed by two-storey galleries. A convex organ gallery from the 19th century is built into the west side. On the north side of the choir there is a glazed patron's box from 1732 with the coat of arms of the von Dieskau family. A late Gothic sacrament niche made of porphyry with a curtain arch is a work from around 1500. The sacristy is designed with a barrel vault and a piscina.

The elaborate sandstone baptismal font dates from around 1570. At the base there are putti with coats of arms, on the shaft there is foliage and on the cuppa there are four reliefs with many figures depicting the circumcision, the journey through the Red Sea, the blessing of the children by Jesus and the baptism of Christ, in between there are cartouches with the coats of arms of the von Ende family. A smaller than life-size figure of Moses made of sandstone from the 16th century has been preserved from a lost pulpit. A baroque painting from the end of the 17th/beginning of the 18th century depicts the crucifixion of Christ.

The organ is a work by Furtwängler & Hammer from 1911, which was transferred from the Eilenburg seminary around 1925. The organ has seven registers on two manuals and a pedal.[1]
