The parish church of St. Gallus "with its high Lantzen and spire" was already visible from 1692. However, as the original parish it is much older.

Over 70 steps "Church Relay" lead from the White Main up to the former castle complex. Castle and school buildings serve today, among other things. as a community center.

From 1303 onwards, the Lords of Wirsberg had the right of patronage. The Reformation was implemented late, there were religious struggles and quarrels. In 1687 the knightly estate fell to Margrave Christian Ernst and became the administrative administration.

A Gothic hall church later became an admirable margrave church, not overloaded, bright through the arched windows, with double galleries all around and a pulpit altar by court sculptor J.G. Räntz. Construction period 1750 to 1755.

The elegant stucco ceiling (JN Feeg) therefore not only testifies 3 times from the eye of God in a triangle with a ray wreath, and angels from the "Jubilate Deo", but the F with a princely hat and the artistic coat of arms also refer to Margrave Friedrich as patron and builder, whereby the Local pastor was granted a significant share in the church renovation.

The organ, financed by national collections, was added later. Also worth seeing is baptismal font, lecture crosses, tombs and Gothic half-reliefs of Apostles.

The Evangelical-Lutheran parish church received its current baroque appearance during the last remodeling in 1750. Six stone building phases are documented. The original building was a small hall church. Worth seeing inside is the pulpit altar, the typical feature of a Lutheran margrave church, the baptismal font and twelve apostle figures, which are dated to 1510. There are also several grave monuments and epitaphs, as well as the tombs of the Lords of Wirsberg.
