    The Romanesque choir tower church is one of the oldest preserved sacred buildings in Lower Franconia

      The oldest part of the church, which was probably built in the 12th and 13th centuries, is likely to be the basement of the choir tower, to which the rectangular nave was added a little later. The first written mention of the small church comes from the year 1232. From the beginning the church was a branch of the parish church of the nearby Untermerzbach, which was mentioned for the first time in 1225. Under Kunz II von Rotenhan, Ober- and Untermerzbach became Protestant in the 16th century.

        Quaint interior with beautiful old wooden benches overlooking a tiny altar.
