This church is a German Monument.
"Southeast oriented in five sides of an octagon closed hall building. The church building, erected in 1839-1841 by municipal master builder Johann Baptist Bingler, was built opposite its predecessor church (today a parking lot).
Hall with volten ceiling, classicistic style forms and round-arched window surrounds made of sandstone. Late Gothic high altar. The 1911 painting of the choir in the Nazarene style by the Andernach painters Dyderski and Nicolaus has been preserved. Parts of the murals on the former triumphal arch were transferred to the walls.
From the previous church the pulpit (18th century), the baptismal font (1798), a crucifix (end of 15th century) and the aedicule altar from 1739 were taken over."
