The church in Waltersdorf dates back to the 13th century and burned down in 1750. It was rebuilt in a modified form between 1751 and 1756. The furnishings are made of dark wood and are pleasing in their simplicity. The wooden pulpit is slightly decorated. The pulpit features a curved cornice and Rococo shield, and the sounding board is decorated with carved tassels. In 1767, C. F. Poppe of Stadtroda installed the organ in the church.
