History
editAfter the old church building in Ernsthausen, built in 1766, burned out, it had to be demolished. The new church was inaugurated in 1832. The square hall church is covered with a hipped roof, from the center of which rises a square roof turret on which an octagonal lantern sits. It looks like a central building. The building is characterized by high arched windows, wide pilaster strips at the corners and a risalit in the facade.[1]
The interior houses a pulpit altar. The three-sided galleries stand on Doric columns, which continue as supports for the flat ceiling.[1]
