The neoclassical nave, built between 1838 and 1840, has five window axes, but its floor plan dates back to the Middle Ages. Of the medieval predecessor church from the 11th century, which was given a Gothic style in 1486, only the choir tower remains. A Baroque cap was added to it around 1912 to house the clock and belfry. After the nave was built, parts of the flat-roofed choir on the ground floor of the tower initially served as a sacristy. A Gothic tabernacle from 1486, set into the wall, has also been preserved there. In 1854, the church received an altar from 1716, which had previously stood in St. Michael's Church in Fulda. It was installed under the chancel arch. It was removed during a renovation around 1941. During this renovation, an external sacristy was added. In 2008 and 2009, the interior was the primary focus of the renovation. The renovation project focused on redesigning the altar area. The renovation was completed with the consecration of the new people's altar on January 17, 2010. (Source: Wikipedia)

The church's origins date back to the 15th century. The simple building was renovated several times before its demolition in 1930. The last service took place in January 1930, followed by the laying of the foundation stone for the new building, which was consecrated in August. The hall church, with its steeple extending into the nave and supporting an octagonal tent roof between battlements, is built in the style of a fortified church. The Pietà from the 1735 altar has been preserved. The wooden figures of St. Valentine and St. Pantaleon come from an altar of the Fourteen Holy Helpers from the early 16th century. On the back wall of the galleries is a depiction of St. Christopher. Also visible are statues of Mary, St. Joseph, and St. Elizabeth. (Source: Wikipedia)
