Idyllically situated on the Ems River, the church was first documented on December 7, 1304. A highlight of the church is the old sandstone Madonna, also known as the "Madonna of the Seafarers." She was once the patron saint of boatmen and fishermen on the Ems River and is now located inside the church. Originally, the Virgin Mary stood in a niche on the outer wall so that passing boatmen could greet her.
