A "pleban", that is, a local priest, is documented for the first time in 1464, which speaks in favor of a local church at this time, whose patronage was that of the von Malsburg. The date 1593 on a corner stone of the tower refers to an older church, probably already renovated at that time. The Protestant church is dated to the year 1774 above the eastern south portal and adorned with the initials of Landgrave Friedrich II of Hesse-Kassel, who ruled from 1760 to 1785, in addition to a four-line inscription. The Protestant church consists of the late Gothic west tower with spire from 1876 and the hall building with hipped roof from 1774. The construction equipment was largely preserved until after World War II, but was completely changed in a renovation before 1970.
In addition to the Christian lying cemetery Jewish cemetery was laid out. 1854 Up to 1929, the year of the last burial , at least 19 burials had taken place.
