The St. Nicolai Church on Langen Straße is a Protestant church that is bright and stylishly elegant for inner contemplation. It was built between 1802 and 1806 as a classical hall with a hipped roof. Its west tower is dated 1818.

Worth seeing are the altar wall with four Corinthian columns, the paintings painted on wooden planks in 1580, and the gothic chalice from the beginning of the 14th century. While plain white dominates on the church walls, the altar, gallery and organ have gilded applications. The altarpiece "Resurrection of Christ" is a testament to the North German Renaissance.
