The Baroque Chateau Church of the Late Trinity was built in 1722-1728 by the Italian architect Giovanni Antonio Bianna Rossa on the terrace adjacent to the Castle Park on the road to Vrbice on the western outskirts of Waltsch. The church was built by Count John Ferdinand Kager of Globen on request in the will of his uncle Jan Kryštof Kagger of Štampach. After 1945, however, the church ceased to serve for church purposes, gradually dilapidated and became the target of vandals and thieves. A costly overall reconstruction of the dilapidated church took place in 2009-2011.
