St. Mary's Church in Büchen-Dorf.
The youngest part of the church is the tower. The old beginnings of the tower wall can still be seen on the west wall. The tower was once wider and more massive, but was rebuilt narrower after the fires in 1837 and 1911. In 1911 the bell was also lost. It was therefore recast.
The oldest part of the church is the western part made of fieldstone, built in the late Romanesque-early Gothic transitional style. Due to the increasing number of pilgrims, the church was expanded around 1500 with an extension in the late Gothic style.
The church still contains the treasury, in which the miraculous image of Mary Thovboke was kept at the top and the sacrificed praise pennies were thrown in at the bottom. The image of Mary disappeared during the Thirty Years' War.
St. Mary's Church is known for its expressive ceiling paintings. In the central nave, twelve apostles are depicted being executed. In the east bay of the north aisle the story of Catherine of Alexandria is told, in the south aisle the story of Isaac's sacrifice, David and Goliath, Samson and the lion, as well as horse-riding saints and prophet couples.

Unfortunately no "open church" - in view of the historical importance and equipment that would actually make sense!
