JESTÄDT was first mentioned in a document in 876. It can be assumed that there was already a baptistery in the village in the early Middle Ages. The church was in three parts until 1889. It consisted of the current nave (1588), the chancel under the tower and a very old choir.

The main feature of the chancel of the Jestädter Church today is that it is larger than life
Crucifix in the middle behind the altar as well as the stone cenotaph and opposite
a stained glass window depicting the sinking Peter.
