Popular around Luckaer Forst
Since 1233, the church, first mentioned, has been part of the town of Frohburg. The oldest part of the church, presumably the sacristy, dates from this period. In 1582, the pastor at the time handed over the church's rich landed property to the patrons. In 1877, the church was completely redesigned inside and out in the Neo-Gothic style. Only the organ from 1806 was preserved. In 2002, the chancel was painted and the spire was renovated and re-roofed. A valuable bronze epitaph can be seen at the church's tower entrance. It shows the builder of Frohburg Castle, the jurist Dr. Melchior von Kreutzen. Together with the reformers around Luther, he organized the legal affairs of the Reformation in the region. The chancel contains nine oil paintings of the Frohburg pastors from 1613 - 1849. The largest oil painting hangs on the south wall of the nave and depicts the "Resurrection of Christ". It is by the painter Thieme (1869 - 1877). The Paschal candlestick next to the altar is by the famous ceramic artist Kurt Feuerriegel.

There was already a small parish church in Tegkwitz in 1254. Some remains of the Romanesque structure from this period can still be seen today, for example in window openings on the north side of the church. The church was dedicated to "Our Lady", i.e. Mary, the mother of Jesus. It became particularly famous for a miraculous image of the Virgin Mary, which made Tegkwitz a popular pilgrimage site for the entire area. As an incentive for pilgrims, the church received a papal indulgence in 1469, which the then Bishop of Naumburg confirmed in 1471. The bell tower was built after 1484 with the help of the income generated from this. The Gothic-style nave was built between 1518 and 1521. The image of the Virgin Mary, which made Tegkwitz famous, was located on the south side of the church, set into a pillar. The niche intended for it can still be seen today, while nothing is known about the whereabouts of the image. During the GDR era, the church fell into very poor condition. Since 1995, it has been continuously restored thanks to great commitment from the village.
