The pretty little church of the mountain community has a special treasure. It has the youngest and only existing organ of the famous organ builder Gottlieb Tamitius.

The Protestant village church Waltersdorf is a baroque hall church in the Waltersdorf district of Großschönau in the Görlitz district in Saxony.
The church was built in 1648–1657 using a 1553 tower. In 1713 the building was expanded to the west and the tower was then built from 1726 to 1729. Renewals and restorations took place in 1839, 1883, 1892 and 1929.

The building is a plastered building with a rectangular end to the east and a gable roof. The tower made of unplastered sandstone blocks has a two-story, square substructure and an octagonal bell storey and is completed with a hood and lantern. The building is accessed through a portal in the west.

The interior is characterized by the galleries and the coffered ceiling, the altar stands in a semicircular niche. The galleries are single-story in the west and two-story on the north and south sides. Scenes from the Bible are depicted in grisaille painting on the lower galleries, eight depictions of the Lord's Prayer on the north and south sides, and additional emblematic depictions on the north side.
