A charming village pub where everyone is welcome. But beware if you address the landlord formally ;-)

The baroque hall church was built around 1700 from fieldstone and brick. The nave is pentagonal in the east. In the west there is a wooden bell tower, which was built in 1662 and is covered with an eight-sided, slate-covered, pointed helmet. The walls of the nave, which has a gable roof, are supported by buttresses.

A true expressive work of art in the midst of nature - an incredibly elaborately designed area, park and building ensemble by the artist couple Jutta and Johann Bossard. A visit to the art site (museum) is definitely worth it. More information: https://www.bossard.de/startseite.html
