EN: The Church of St. Remigius was built 1819-1821. It replaced an older church, that was located far outside the village and was first mentioned in 1301.
The church is mainly built in Neo-classical style, but the gable is baroque. After a fire in 1878, the choir and the tower had to be rebuilt, the tower received a spire instead of the original canopy.
In the 1960s the church was renovated outside and in the 1970s inside.
DE: Die Kirche St. Remigius wurde 1819-1821 neu erbaut. Sie ersetzte eine ältere Kirche, die weit ausserhalb des Dorfes stand und 1301 erstmals erwähnt wurde.
Die Kirche ist in weit gehend in klassizistischem Stil erbaut, der Giebel ist aber barock. Nach einem Brand 1878 mussten Chor und Turm neu erbaut werden, wobei der Turm eine Spitzhelm anstelle der ursprünglichen Haube erhielt.
In den 1960er Jahren wurde die Kirch aussen und in den 1970er Jahren innen renoviert.
