The old fieldstone church was built around 1256 and served as a place of worship for the surrounding villages of the Alt Jabel community until a new one was built in 1908. The attic and a wooden bell tower were demolished, and the church remains were left to their own devices. The church ruins have now been restored and secured.

Here, one surprisingly encounters a modern sculpture that transports one's thoughts back to ancient times: In Greek mythology, there was Charon, the ferryman to the underworld. At burial, a coin was placed on each of the dead's eyes; this was Charon's reward for transporting the deceased safely. Why he, as the ferryman, is standing not on a barge, but on a four-wheeled cart, is perhaps a free interpretation by the artist...
