Attractions

Fortified church of St. Alban and St. Wendelin, view from the southeast

The Protestant Church of St. Alban and St. Wendelin was built as a fortified church in the 14th century from solid limestone. Instead of windows it had only narrow slits in the wall. In the 15th century the nave and the tower were raised by a half-timbered structure. The large windows on the south side were not broken through until 1847. The interior is adorned with wall paintings from the end of the 15th century, which were uncovered in 1958. The altar crucifix was added in the 18th century.
