The church, located on a hill, had a few forerunners, the first since 886 as Martinskirche. The current patronage of the apostles Simon and Jude can only be proven from 1665. The existing church building has a late Gothic choir (15th century), a hall-like nave from 1713 and a west tower from 1749 with a curved dome. The design for this tower can be traced back to the rococo builder Johann Georg Leydel due to the architectural and decorative details. The interior is pleasantly closed thanks to the furnishings from the 18th century.
