A late Romanesque hall church at its core. Towerless since the addition of a tower in 1682. Inside, a baptismal font with angels.

The gable facade of the cemetery chapel in Eilenburg bears the two intertwined letters "X" and "P", in German usually pronounced (wrongly) as "PX". The use as a Christian symbol or monogram comes from the Greek, in this language it is the first two letters "Chi-Rho" of the name "Christ".
