A truly beautiful church, built between 1791 and 1810 according to designs by Jakob Joseph Schneider, the then building director of Mainz. The building features a circular choir inside and a three-sided exterior, leaning against a Gothic tower. Particularly noteworthy are the Baroque altars and wooden figures from the early 18th century. After a lightning strike in 1910, the destroyed tower was quickly rebuilt.
