Ev. Pfarrkirche, ehem. Wallfahrtskirche

Above the castle, on the walled former cemetery, stands the evangelical church of St. Peter, which originally served as a fortified church. Castle and church used to be connected by an underground passage. When the Romanesque church was destroyed by fire in 1435, the tabernacle with the hosts inside miraculously remained intact. This so-called "Miracle of the Host" gave rise to pilgrimages. The new church was completed in late Gothic style at the end of the 15th century. With its old paintings and grave commemorative plaques, it is an art-historically valuable gem. Alongside the Catherine Church in Oppenheim, this church is one of the most important in terms of cultural history in Rheinhessen. Viewing: During services
