Highlight • Religious Site

The core of the reformed parish church dates back to the 12th century. Today, only the Romanesque choir remains from this period; the remaining parts come from the numerous later renovations and new buildings. Next to the church is the rectory, which was built in the 16th century and later also underwent several changes. To the east of the rectory is the oven building from 1785.
