The parish church Saint Severinus is a Late-Gothic pillar basilica of 1240. The basement of the tower comes from the predecessor's construction, which was built in the 10th century. The church was altered several times. Two yokes of the aisles and lofts were removed in 1751 to make the building brighter and more spacious. The long house was extended and the windows were extended.

The lower part of the bell tower was built in the 11th or early 12th century.

The belltower contains four bells:

1. "Osanna" from 1388
2. "Severinus" from 1531
3. "Maria" from 1768
4. "Donatus" from 1768
