Culture and sights
The church dates from 1760. Next to the baroque church there is the old rectory and the associated rectory garden. In 2005 the rectory (without the rectory garden) was sold to private customers. The pastor of the parishes Greimerath, Laufeld and Niederöfflingen lives in the parsonage in Laufeld. The parish garden was converted into a meeting, recreation and cultural site by the specially founded cultural association . A sign on the nearby cycle path attracts many cyclists and hikers to this garden with local herbs and plants. A fountain, an outdoor chess game and plenty of seating offer all visitors an opportunity to recover from the stresses of everyday life.
