The parish church in Gabsheim is one of the oldest and most beautiful churches in Rheinhessen. Its dominant position above the village makes it a striking landmark for the entire surrounding area. The Gothic church on the edge of the village, which appears uniform from the outside, surprises with its magnificent interior. The single-nave nave, built around 1490, was converted into a hall between 1510 and 1518. The relatively short space, divided by four pillars and consisting of three naves of equal height, is spanned by a refined net vault: By means of ribs that start high or end abruptly, the impression of an infinite vault is created. The design for this wide, distinguished room on the smallest floor plan probably originates from the Meisenheim Hut, probably from Philipp von Gmünd himself. A visit to this little-known church offers art lovers many surprises. Remarkable are the three Gothic tracery windows of the choir, made in 1971 by the well-known stained-glass artist Heinrich Hindorf. The stained-glass windows depict scenes of salvation history from the Old and New Testaments. The church is closed outside of service times. Visits and guided tours can be arranged through the Saulheim Catholic Parish Office.
