Attractions

• The Protestant church was rebuilt in the 18th century after a local fire and furnished in a baroque style. It is surrounded by tall linden trees, a quarry stone wall and historic Bergisch houses.
• The hospital building erected in the 18th century is a three-wing, single-storey successor to the “ Schwarzenberg Hospital for Catholics” from 1633, which was also destroyed by fire and consisted of a six-part building complex. The hospital housed an old people's home until the beginning of the 19th century and today serves various private and business interests.
• On the upper third of Obergelpestrasse, two 28-meter-high sequoias rose up until January 29, 2014 , which were planted there around 1874 by a local resident interested in botanical studies. According to an expert report, the trees are in poor condition and must be felled. One tree was removed in early 2014. The second is to be preserved first. An application was made to designate it as a natural monument and put it under protection.
