The parish church of St. Peter forms the center of the churchyard, which is laid out in a ring on a small spur and fortified like a castle by a moat and defensive wall. The nave, which appears very squat, responds to the limited space and still has its original roof structure, built in 1468 (1467/68). In times of crisis, it served as a place of refuge for the population. In 1499, the tower choir was added by stonemasons from Maulbronn. Among the stonemasons' marks is the mark of the Maulbronn master builder Conrad von Schmie.

The fortified church of St Peter, with its 17 renovated Gaden, is one of the best-preserved church fortresses in southwest Germany. In times of war, the residents took refuge in the church, which is protected by masonry and a flooded moat. The church chambers (Gaden) were used to house livestock and supplies and could be rented by farmers all year round.

The cute Café Kirchenburg at the entrance to the complex is also recommended.
