The church of St. Kunigunde with its outbuildings is a successful ensemble in the neo-Gothic style and was consecrated in 1869.
The single-nave church is made of sandstone and was designed and built by Carl Adolf Cranzler from 1822 to 1823 as an ensemble with the rectory and the school building.
The 40.5 meter high church tower houses three bells, which were consecrated in 1962.
The interior of the church is notable for its cross-ribbed vaulted, three-bay hall with the choir. The church dates back to a donation by the Saxon princess Maria Cunigunde, who made the construction of the group of buildings possible.
In her honor, the Holy Empress Kunigunde, who lived from 980 to 1033, was chosen as the patron of the church and the church was consecrated after her name.
The altarpiece was created in 1868 by Wenzel Schwarz and shows a portrait of
the Empress Kunigunde, who hands over her imperial crown to the Kaufungen monastery, which she founded,
as a sign of humility.
The organ from 1868 by Eduard Jehmlich still has the original mechanical action.
The church was extensively renovated and restored from 2002 to 2003 in the spirit of monument protection.
