Die Kirche wurde vermutlich im 13. Jahrhundert mit romanischen Kapitellen, Apsis und Fenstern sowie wehrhaften Charakter erbaut. In der Folgezeit entstanden Um- und Anbauten in Renaissance und Barock. Der Kirchenturm wurde im Jahr 1661 nach einem Einsturz des ehemaligen Glockenturms neu errichtet.

Die Kirche beherbergt die älteste spielbare Orgel Sachsens von Gottfried Richter.
