The Church of St. Nicholas was built in 1841/42 and was built on the site where a church had previously stood. In Dehnberg - as is so common in many villages - next to the church in the center of the village, the village inn is also recommended, by the way.

Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, to whom the church in Dehnberg is dedicated, is – next to Saint Martin – one of the most popular saints of all. Almost every child in Germany - and far beyond - should know his commemoration day, December 6th.
On the eve of this day, the children used to put their shoes or boots in front of the door - which of course had to be cleaned with great care - so that they could be filled with gifts by St. Nicholas during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for the children to put out a small amount of food for the donkey, St. Nicholas' riding animal (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).
