    The three-aisled church stands on a mountain spur and therefore offers a very nice view of the surrounding landscape. Some components (such as the nave) in the view of experts from the 13th century, the Gothic choir probably from the 14th century. The tower in its present form was built in 1558. In the period from 1708 to 1735 was the baroque furnishings of the church; Testimonies for this are, for example, the high altar shown here in the east choir and - also pictured - Ölberg scene on the outer wall. The result of this 'Baroqueisation' is also the Pietá altar on the right side; However, the impressive representation of Mary with the dead son is still late Gothic.

      The parish church in Bühl is located on the high mountain spur directly above Simmelsdorf and allows a wide view of the Schnaittachtal valley.
