A church is documented in Lohmen as early as 1292. The castle chapel probably also served as the parish church at first.
The current church was built from sandstone blocks between 1786 and 1789. The Königstein fortress and Pirna council mason Johann Daniel Kayser and master carpenter Christian Gotthelf Reuther from Kreischa were responsible for the construction work.
The octagonal floor plan is based on the central building principle in the style of George Bähr. To the north is the sacristy, to the south the tower, whose hall also serves as the entrance. The white and gold interior already shows neoclassical influences.
On the north side is a pulpit altar with the baptismal font in the central axis. Above the altar is the organ, built in 1789 by Johann Christian Kayser. Its simplified case is reminiscent of Silbermann organs and, like the entire church, is a listed building.
