The hall church was built in 1686/87. It consists of a nave and a choir tower in the east, which was extended in 1687 with an octagonal timber-framed storey to house the clock tower and the belfry for the three church bells. The tower is topped by a bell dome crowned with a lantern. The interior of the nave, with galleries built along the long sides, is spanned by a flat ceiling. It is opened to the choir, i.e., the ground floor of the choir tower, by a chancel arch. The organ is a special feature. It formerly stood in the Order Chapel of Ludwigsburg Palace, later in the chapel of Stuttgart-Hohenheim Palace. King Frederick of Württemberg donated the organ to the church. It is probably the only surviving Württemberg court organ. Based on its gilded decorations, it is assumed to have been built in the Baroque period.

In 1727, Countess von Würben, née von Grävenitz, purchased the village of Freudental. She commissioned the construction of the castle and the layout of the park by master builder Paolo Retti, the architect of the Ludwigsburg Baroque Palace. From 1810, the expanded palace complex served as the summer residence of King Frederick I of Württemberg. Since 1911, the palace, including its park with three lakes and a large orchard, served as a convalescent home for the Stuttgart local health insurance funds, and from 1961 onward, it housed the Ludwigsburg district's nursing home. From 2007 to 2020, Freudental Palace was privately owned. Since 2021, it has housed an acute care clinic of the Libermenta Clinics.
