A sign at the natural stone bridge points to an old stone bridge, presumably dating back to prehistoric times. The small natural stone bridge, located at a rest area, crosses the Kallbach stream, which rises near Simmerath and flows into the Rur river near Zerkall.

The current parish church was completed in 1912. It was a beautiful and attractive church for its time, as the picture impressively shows. The nave was almost completely destroyed in World War II. Source: Display board
