EN: The Catholic Church of St. Gallus Hochwald is located in the village center east of the main road.

The church was built in 1821 and replaced a medieval predecessor church that had been located not been far from it.

The building is a simple country church with a single nave, a gabled roof and a five-story bell tower at the northeast corner. The interior was remodeled and changed repeatedly at short intervals. The last interior restoration was in 2010.
