There was already a church here in the Middle Ages. The church in its current form dates back to the 18th century. The design of the church wall is interesting; it was covered with photographic film, but this is only noticeable at second glance.

To this day, the inhabitants of the small town of Zeulenroda in eastern Thuringia are nicknamed “carp whistlers”. However, you will look in vain for whistling carp here: behind the curious nickname lies an entertaining legend that is still often told in the region.

A church was first mentioned in 1407. A new church was built in 1789 using parts of the previous building. This small hall church has a three-sided end in the northeast. An eight-sided ridge turret rises from the middle of the slate-covered gable roof of the nave, which carries a hood crowned by a turret ball. The interior is equipped with galleries. The church furnishings include a pulpit altar with a simple architectural structure.
