Bexheim
Bexheim is an originally independent village settlement with its own Romanesque church, which has grown up in the municipality of Deersheim in the Harz district . Today a street in Deersheim is called Bexheim. The von Gustedt family , who also had patronage over the church, lived in the former village . What remains of this is the family's small private cemetery on the north side of the church.

The village church of Deersheim-Bexheim is a characteristic late Romanesque complex. The church building consists of a mighty square west tower, a rectangular nave of equal width, a somewhat recessed choir and a semicircular apse. It was probably built around 1170 from hewn field stones and consecrated by Halberstadt Bishop Ulrich. Only a few small arched windows open the fortified tower and the nave.
The church tower had deep cracks, and in 2010 it was "secured" with a wire mesh to prevent stones falling out into a neighboring kindergarten. The German Foundation for Monument Protection got involved, and since the end of 2012 the church tower has been renovated again.
In the flat-roofed interior, the winged altar from the end of the 15th century, which rises above a stone cafeteria, deserves a special mention . The oldest piece of equipment is the Romanesque font made of sandstone.
