Built in 2005, the year Schmeling died. Why is it here? Because the boxer was here hunting rabbits and ducks!

The village church is a small plastered hall building with a western roof tower built at the end of the 16th century. After the end of the Thirty Years' War and later, the church was changed and supplemented several times in terms of furnishings. The older parts of the pulpit altar, which is remarkable in terms of art history, as well as the baptism are dated to the second half of the 17th century.
