    The core is a late Romanesque stone church with retracted choir and apse. 1808 Addition of a three-storey classical west tower

      The village church of St. Blasii is a stone church of Romanesque origin in the typical layout with a nave, choir and apse. The church, which presumably dates from the 13th century, was only fitted with a square tower in 1808. The upper part of the tower, originally built in half-timbered construction, was replaced in 1890 by a massive structure with an octagonal, lantern-like tower.

      A sandstone plaque above the south entrance gives the year 1696 as the date of the remodeling of the church. During this time the windows also got their changed shape. The classical pulpit altar, which completely covers the apse, as well as the horseshoe gallery, also made in the classical style, originate from a further redesign in 1831. The interior is also characterized by a Steinmann organ built in 1808, which was badly damaged by the effects of the war.

      An oval epitaph was installed in the interior of the church for Hans Rudolph von Kalitsch in 1694. Around three portraits and the depiction of the Entombment of Christ there is a richly carved acanthus ornament, which appears even more imposing through the addition of several colored coats of arms and putti. The lower room with a barrel vault in the tower was the crypt of the von Kalitsch family and is now used as a community room.

      After a bell had to be dismantled in World War II, the church now only has a bronze bell from 1754.
