Attractions

The Protestant church, a Gothic hall church with pointed arched windows and a bell tower, built around 1500 with a curtain wall and defensive towers, rebuilt in the 18th century and the rectory built in the 17th century, are in poor condition and are a listed building. The tower roof was changed in 1787, the church, bering and bastion with entrance portal were extensively renovated in 1580 and 1655. The last renovation measures took place in 1972. Since then, the fortified church has been falling into disrepair, so that from 1980 the service could only take place in the rectory because of the great damage. In 2012 the roof of the church was renewed to save it from falling apart.
