The church of Hohnstädt is a Romanesque chancel church from the 13th century. The late-Gothic chapel with a ribbed vaulted ceiling, dated 1480, serves as a vestry. It contains a marble relief alter, a pulpit (made of Rochlitzer porphyry) and a baptismal font from 1661. In 1896, the tower was heightened by 17 m. The chancel with apse is framed up to the nave by two triumphal arches on imposts.
In 1999, the evangelical Lutheran parishes of Hohnstädt and Beiersdorf joined to form the parish of Hohenstädt-Beiersdorf and created a sister church relationship with the parishes of Grimma, Nerchau, and Döben-Höfgen.
