Church of St. Peter and Paul

The church was built in the first half of the 14th century and renovated in 1682. A corner stone shows 1495 or 1496 as the year. The wooden ceiling and benches are in baroque passed .

The Fischer organ was built in 1796 and renewed and expanded in 1866. The elaborately designed case and the prospectus withstood the war damage of 1945. However, all pipes were stolen. The mechanism fell into disrepair.

In the years 2008 to 2009, on the private initiative of former German parishioners, a monumental new organ in a historic case was built by the organ building and restoration workshop Rainer Wolter .
