The church, built in the late 18th century, is Kleinich's landmark. The early Romanesque bell tower was preserved from a previous building. Inside, the fascinating organ, built in 1809 by the renowned Hunsrück organ-building family Stumm, is a must-see.

Kleinich's hallmark is its large church, built between 1789 and 1790, whose bell tower dates back to 1539. Particularly noteworthy is the church's silent organ, whose builders made a name for themselves far beyond the borders of the Hunsrück region for their organ-building skills. The silent organ was inaugurated in 1809 and restored in 1986, so it is in good condition today and occasionally showcases its unique sound at concerts.Since 2001, the church has been illuminated at dusk, which makes it particularly attractive.(Source: Kleinich Municipality)
