This church was built in 1090 in the Byzantine style and was one of the oldest places of worship in the Rudolstadt area. It became a pilgrimage church because, according to legend, Saint Anthony died and was buried here on a missionary journey.
Little has been preserved of the historical substance of the church. Partially demolished in 1862, the church tower with carved altars and a late Romanesque holy water urn remained intact. The latter is exhibited in the Stadtmuseum Saalfeld.

The church was built in 1090 and this is what it looks like. Something urgently needs to be done.
