EN: The parish church of St. Michael is located on a hill north-east of the village center. It is a single-aisled church with the bell tower above the main entrance to the northwest. A chancel adjoins the nave, behind that is the sacristy, all parts of the building have their own roof structure.
The church of Kaisten was first mentioned in 1443, the present baroque building dates from 1717. The builder was probably the city foreman of Säckingen, Johann Pfeiffer. The church was already renovated several times, but only slightly remodeled. Much of the interiors are still from the original stock of the early 18th century.
