The church is built in the Art Nouveau style according to the plans of the Munich court architect Eugen Drollinger. It was consecrated in 1908 and is unique in Lower Franconia.
In architecture and equipment, the Christ Church is adapted from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. In 1990 it was renovated in the original style. The white sandstone used is from a quarry in nearby Fondberg.
