The 13th-century church is one of the most important Gothic monuments in northern Hesse, along with the Elisabeth Church in Marburg. It has a special meaning within the 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.

The church from the 13th century is, along with the Elisabeth Church in Marburg, one of the most important Gothic architectural monuments in northern Hesse. It has a special significance within Hessian Protestantism: In 1526, Landgrave Philip the Magnanimous convened the “Homberg Synod,” which met in this church and marked the point in time at which the Landgraviate of Hesse became Protestant. That's why it's called the Reformation Church of Hesse.

The church is freely accessible during the day. Very beautiful window paintings and an impressive organ can be seen here.
