The Evangelical Lutheran town church in Ludwigslust was originally the court church of the Ludwigslust palace complex in the small town of the same name in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It is located around 500 meters south of the castle and is connected to it by a series of courtyards. Both buildings together form the largest baroque ensemble in Mecklenburg.
Due to its orientation towards the castle, the church is not facing the east and is connected to the castle as the starting or end point of an axis over a kilometer long. The fact that the palace and church and thus the central ballroom of the residence, as well as the ducal box and the altar lie in a huge line, the ensemble illustrates the position of the prince in the sense of divine grace.
The actual church is a brick-built, externally simply plastered hall building with a mansard roof, which is preceded by an extra-wide, backdrop-like portico, which serves as a point de vue when viewed from the castle with its Tuscan portico.

The interior of the church is divided by 16 wooden columns - without a load-bearing function - and spanned by a coffered, wooden barrel vault. The highlight of the church hall is a monumental painting on the south wall depicting the Annunciation of the Shepherds.

A special feature of the Ludwigsluster Church is the almost continuous use of painted paper mache - the so-called Ludwigsluster Carton - as a material for the decors, ceiling rosettes, candlesticks and other items of equipment. The altarpiece of the church comes partly from the village church in Klenow, the village from which Ludwigslust developed in the 18th century.

The church does not have its own bell tower, the bell stalls are housed a few hundred meters to the east in the towers of the cemetery portal.

The church and the castle are located opposite a square surrounded by small houses
