In the upper village of Altmorschen are the church ruins of the church built around 1200, of which the tower with half-timbered superstructure from 1839 has been preserved. Around 1637, during the Thirty Years' War, the building was struck by lightning. It is assumed that during this difficult time, when the monastery church could also be used, no reconstruction was carried out. The nave was laid down around 1820. The church is surrounded by the cemetery with some historical gravestones. Literature tip: Waltari Bergmann - Millennial Morschen, 1985.
