[DE] Der heute evangelische Kirchenbau aus dem lokal vorhandenen roten Sandstein wurde im romanischen Architekturstil errichtet und ist der Nachfolgebau eines vermutlich karolingischen Gotteshauses an dieser Stelle. Sein einschiffiges Langhaus und der Wehrturm stammen aus der Zeit um 1000. Das Chorgebäude, das das Langhaus an der Ostseite abschließt, wurde erst 1520 hinzugefügt.
