The choir and nave are the same height inside and are spanned by a vault with a seemingly endless pattern. The creation of this outstanding building is probably thanks to Philipp Kämmerer von…

The church has developed over time into a defining landmark of the region. Even from a distance, the tower, which is over 60 meters high, indicates the former importance of the place, which once held city rights.

From 1732 - 1998 salt for baths and foods was produced with the help of these salt waterfalls.
