The large, flat-roofed fieldstone church with a rectangular floor plan and a west tower approximately 45 meters high was built in the mid- to late 13th century and rebuilt after suffering severe damage during the Thirty Years' War. The striking tower top with its cupola, lantern, angel, and the inscription "GLORIA" was erected between 1732 and 1735 at the initiative of the church's patron, Carl Friedrich von Sydow Jr., after the nave had been structurally reinforced. Later alterations, particularly during the GDR era, affected the windows, galleries, and interior. The church has been a listed building since 1984 and, after a long period of neglect, was finally able to undergo extensive restoration between 1998 and 2001. You'll find a diamond-shaped stone at the northeast corner, though it's embedded quite high up in the structure.

Since 1756, Blumberg Manor has been owned by the von der Osten family. In 1792, a three-winged manor house was built, and by 1849, numerous architecturally refined outbuildings had been constructed. After 1945, Blumberg became a state-owned estate (VEG); apartments, a factory kitchen, a kindergarten, a municipal office, and a restaurant were built within the manor. In 1996, the von der Osten family acquired the manor house with its courtyard and former manor park and gradually renovated the building and park. The central building of the manor house currently serves as the von der Osten family residence; the south wing, with its ballroom, can be used for events. Development plans for the remaining parts of the house and estate (equestrian center, horse boarding house, holiday apartments, art studios, and apartments) already exist, but the owners are also open to ideas from potential investors. The manor is open to visitors.

The church is a large, flat-roofed, rectangular-shaped structure built on a sloping base with a 45-meter-high western tower, the width of a ship. It was built in the mid- to late-13th century. Seriously damaged during the Thirty Years' War, it was later rebuilt. The tall tower, with its hood, lantern, and weathervane with an angel and the "GLORIA" banner, was built between 1732 and 1735 at the initiative of the church's patron, Carl Friedrich von Sydow Jr., and installed and restored during the renovation in color, as agreed. Previously, the walls inside the nave were reinforced to accommodate the additional load. In the late 17th century, a southern porch with a staircase to the patron's lodge was added. All window openings were replaced with arched ones, and the original pointed-arch portals and windows were partially bricked up. During the GDR era, the hereditary burial site on the tower's northern wall was demolished. In the 1960s, the entrance and passage to the patronal lodge were closed, and the southern section of the gallery was shortened. The parish also commissioned a complete cleanup of the right and left choir areas. The pulpit extended from the altar, slightly raised on the north wall. Carved reliefs from the now-defunct pulpit from 1695 were attached to the pulpit. The church was listed as a historic monument in 1984, but renovations were not carried out until 1998–2001.

The church is a fieldstone structure with a flat roof, rectangular in plan, dating from the second half of the 13th century, with a slightly wider western tower, topped by a weatherboarded gable with a slender dome dating from 1699. The tower was renovated between 1994 and 1998. To the north is a brick sacristy with a 15th-century gable. To the south is a vestibule with a staircase to the patron's lodge dating from the first half of the 17th century. In 1853, the windows were enlarged, and the eastern gable was built. Above the three-story western portal are three flat, arched fieldstone panels, and at the height of the ship's eaves, a recess in the wall of the western tower. The interior was restored in 1968 and 2003–2005, with the western gallery dating from 1865.

The castle park is surrounded by a high wall and is off-limits. It's a bit disappointing that you can only see the castle from one side.
