St. Lucia was closed for many years at the end of the 20th century due to the risk of collapse, but the late medieval church has been in use again since Christmas 1999. Thanks to a healing spring for eye problems, it was once a pilgrimage church. The tower is from 1732. Inside you can see a magnificent baptismal font by Heinrich Pilgram von Ende, as well as a remarkable epitaph for Cunz von Ende.
