After the parish was founded in 1892, the foundation stone for the Christ Church was laid five years later in the settlement of Neu-Ödernitz on the territory of the then municipality of Ödernitz. Construction began in October 1898. The topping-out ceremony was celebrated on August 31, 1899, and the church was consecrated on July 15, 1900. The church is a neo-Romanesque building made of red brick. The relatively large church has two transepts, each with round-arched groups of three windows. On the east wall there is a chancel with buttresses, also with a round-arched group of three windows made of leaded glass, and to the south of it there is a single-storey sacristy. The wide west tower continues in a square shape from the bell floor. The tower is topped with a six-sided pointed roof with small corner turrets, each of which has tower balls on top.
