Today's Dreikönigskirche (Church of the Three Kings) in Neugasse was not completed until 1935. Although the architecture of the building is very simple, its windows radiate impressive splendor. Particularly noteworthy is the large, three-part window in the south wall, which bathes the church in bright, radiant light on Sundays when the sun shines. Instead of a bell tower, the church has a ridge turret in which three bronze bells hang, which were cast in Heidelberg in 1959.

The last active blacksmith let the fire go out forever in 1959. In 1989 the municipality could buy the forge together with its furniture and preserved an authentic testimony through useful additions of the equipment.

The existence of the Protestant church in Dorn-Dürkheim can be reliably traced back to 1245, although the original building was probably constructed almost 400 years earlier. The current building dates mainly from 1618. The church building is a rectangular hall structure and some of the choir walls are still Gothic. Particularly impressive is the originally free-standing tower on the north side, which brings a piece of history to life with its embrasures – without any division into floors.
