The oldest documented mention of Nordhalben as a castle, built in the Nortwald forest at the behest of the Bishop of Bamberg, dates back to 1154. The oldest archdeaconry register, dating from 1421, is the first to confirm a priest in Nordhalben. During the Thirty Years' War, the parish church fell into gradual disrepair. From 1707 to 1715, the church was rebuilt in the Baroque style on its current site. During the "Great Fire" of 1856, the church, except for the choir vault and the foundations of the tower, was destroyed by flames. Reconstruction began in 1858. With the addition of the side aisle and the expansion of the sacristy in 1928, the church took on its present form.

The war memorial was expanded with a new plaque on May 8, 2024, commemorating the victims of the Nazi regime in Nordhalben. Horst Mohr initiated this expansion. This addition is intended to expand the memorial's culture of remembrance and commemorate the victims of National Socialism.

A beautiful rest area at the foreshore of the Ködel Dam. Whether hiking or cycling, it's always a great place to stop.
