Between 1972 and 1976, the church had to undergo extensive restoration due to severe damage. The tower was re-plastered in 1972 and painted in a medieval style, but retained its original design.

The Eifgenburg ring wall is a registered archaeological monument. According to the shards found during excavations within the Eifgenburg, it can be assumed that the complex was in use in the 11th or 12th century. The Eifgenburg was therefore probably built in the 10th/11th century.
