Directly next to the marketplace stands the Catholic parish church of St. Cosmas and Damian, whose tower, over 60 meters high, is visible from afar. The church was built in 1889 on the foundations of a medieval predecessor church. What many do not know: The flat passage under the choir is a true insider tip, as the arches bear the stone mason's mark of Johann von Diepach – a fascinating detail for history enthusiasts.

Wood was the most important…
The former Gothic church was devastated and the inauguration of the current Baroque church took place in 1715. The preserved chancel of the former church is still used today as a sacristy. Especially noteworthy are the Baroque altars, which are unusual for a small village church. From this period date the donation box and the baptismal font.
