The last church built in Mahnsfeld was a plain, austere building with a wooden bell tower. The pulpit (c. 1640) formed a single whole with the altar. The altar dates from the time of construction (1819). Altar furnishings from the old church were preserved. Organ of 1835. Two bells.
After the Second World War the church was intact, was used as a storehouse and was destroyed only in 1958.
A storage building now stands in its place. Miraculously, the memorial to the German soldiers who fell in the First World War, which stood in front of the church by the road, has survived. The memorial is original; there is nothing like it in the region.
