The church from the 13th century is one of the most important Gothic monuments in northern Hesse along with the Elisabeth Church in Marburg. It is of particular importance within Hessian Protestantism: In 1526, Landgrave Philipp the Magnanimous convened the "Homberg Synod", which met in this church and marked the point in time when the Landgraviate of Hesse became Protestant. That is why it is called the Reformation Church of Hesse.
