    Already around 1300 a chapel was built in Wattendorf in honor of St. Barbara. Even today, the tower still has the characteristics of a fortified tower, and the church and churchyard were surrounded by a wall, which was demolished in 1895. In the Margrave War 1553 the chapel burned down. In 1741, the parish Wattendorf was built under Prince-Bishop Friedrich Karl von Schönborn. In the 17th and 18th century several alterations were made to the tower and the nave. The baroque high altar dates from 1708, the figure of St. Barbara from 1746. On the left. Side Altar is the Queen of Heaven under a rococo canopy. The ceiling painting shows the vision of Blessed Margareta Maria Alacoque (1909).
