description
The previous medieval building burned down in the Thirty Years War . A local church was then built again in the 17th century. The current church was built in 1717. The tower in the east (octagon over square with small gables and eight-sided spire) dates from 1886 and is attached to the choir. The nave has a flat ceiling, the choir a groin vault .
The baroque interior consists of three two-column altars with Nazarene altarpieces, a pulpit, several statues and a Way of the Cross . The high altar painting shows the church patron and is a copy of the high altar sheet of the Dietfurt parish church. The side figures of the high altar are under volute canopies and represent Saints James the Elder and James the Younger (mid-17th century). The organ, built by A. Holzinger in 1800, was renovated in 1987 by the organ builder Andreas Ott, Bensheim. - Aschbuch receives pastoral care from Paulushofen.
