A church under the patronage of Nicholas was mentioned as early as 1315. Today's plastered hall church was built in 1842 using parts of the previous building that was destroyed in 1813. It closes the choir on three sides and is equipped with high lattice windows. The stone-sighted neo-Romanesque church tower on a square floor plan in the west was only built from ashlar in 1868. Its top floor has biforias as sound arcades on all four sides . It ends in triangular gables . Above it rises an eight-sided, pointed, slate-covered helmet , which is crowned by a tower ball with a cross sitting on it. The interior has three-sided, two-storey galleries on the long sides . The church furnishings are classical . The two-zone, gabled pulpit altar is decorated with pilasters . The organ with 26 registers , divided into 2 manuals and a pedal , was built in 1875 by the Ratzmann brothers and expanded in 1982 by Herbert Löbling.
