In the middle is a Gothic Pietà from the 15th century. The wall cross on the left is from the 13th century. It was restored inside and out in 1988/89.

Werntrop mill

The Bruchbach , which rises below the Hülsberg and the Auergang, as well as the springs rising in the meadows, fed the former mill pond of the Werntrop mill below the village. This mill is located within the Landwehr, which secured the Heidenstrasse to the north. You can still see it today from the saddle of the Kahlenberg near Bracht, including the mill, crossing the Bruchbach, over the saddle, also crossing the Hagensiepen , below the Grüneberg to the current L737 road. The Heidenstraße runs almost parallel to this through the village, over the Ostenberg towards Wormbach .
