The Evangelical Church in Rodheim-Bieber, whose origins are believed to be in the 13th century, is a Hessian cultural monument. It is a Gothic hall church with a late Romanesque choir tower.

The burial site of the van der Hoop family was restored in 2008 and the tombstones made of Lahn marble and red sandstone are worth a visit, especially as the inscriptions bear witness to the local history.
