It is assumed that the Althengstetter Markuskirche, which received its full name "Maria-Martin-Markuskirche" after the three saints Maria, Sankt Martin and Markus, has its origins as early as the time of the Frankish rule in this area. It is a very old church from the 11th century, since Althengstett was the main parish before the turn of the millennium.

A beautifully built church with ancient history. According to medieval traditions, a previous building was consecrated as early as 1049. In the Middle Ages, the complex was developed as a fortified church with a moat.
