The church is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew and Saint Sebastian, and was consecrated under both names on 25 June 1884. In the left aisle stands a late Gothic Pietà carved in 1486, an older work than the building itself. Two of the four bells in the tower were cast in 1402 and 1417.

The church stands in Gackenbach in the Westerwaldkreis; the tower rises almost 40 m, but the sources describe no observation platform, so visitors view the building from outside. Inside, the two organs can be played together from a single console, and the 1904 Nelson organ in the right transept was enlarged to 29 sounding registers by 2017.
