History+

The church's origins likely trace back to the 12th century. An earlier church building was destroyed in 1429 during a Hussite attack and subsequently rebuilt. Since 1539, the church has been Protestant. The current church building was constructed around 1650. Ten years later, the sacristy and the former prayer room of the Hermsdorf manor owners were added, which now serves as a local history room. The tower, also dating from the 17th century, received a weather vane in 1786. In 1912, a renovation took place, during which gallery paintings were created and the current organ was installed. The steel bells were hung in the tower after World War I.
