The Moravian Church and School building was built in Oley about 1742. It was used by the Moravians as a school from 1742 until 1776. The building of half-timber construction was described as being "in delapidated form" in 1908 and little remains of it today.



A graveyard "situated on a hill nearby" contains the graves of the congregation that are "unmarked, save by rude and partly sunken field stones, without inscription." Johannes Leinbach (1674-1747) is believed to be buried in this now abandoned cemetery.
