The small village church in Bodes, which from the outside resembles a house with a steeple, surprises with its rustic Baroque-style ceiling and parapet paintings.
During the preliminary investigation for the church's restoration in 2005, it was discovered that the tree trunks for the church's beams had been felled as early as 1500/1501, while the previously assumed construction date of the church was 1576. In any case, this makes the small village church the oldest place of worship in the parish.

It is a small but very beautiful Protestant church.

The tree trunks for the beams were felled in 1500/1501 – the previously assumed construction date of the church was 1576. The tree trunks for the beams were therefore felled in 1500/1501 – the previously assumed construction date of the church was 1576. The tree trunks for the beams were therefore felled in 1500/1501 – the previously assumed construction date of the church, 1576, had to be corrected. It is likely the oldest church in the Buchenau parish.
