In the 13th century, Premonstratensian monks built the three-aisled basilica with a transept and a richly structured eastern section. Inside, above the altar, there is a forked crucifix from the 14th century and paintings by the Merzig painter Heinrich Klein based on designs by Prof. Eduard von Steine (Frankfurt) from 1889 (information board on site).
