The "new" church was built in the years 1330 - 1385. It is known nationally thanks to the important winged altar, which was painted around 1385 by the "Schottener Meister". 16 scenes from the life of Mary are shown. The church organ was built in 1782/83 by Philip Wegmann from Frankfurt. From Pentecost to Easter, the church is open daily between 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. The anteroom is always accessible.

The Gothic Church of Our Lady, built between 1350 and 1385, towers into the sky in the historic city centre. Inside it contains the important winged altar, painted by the "Schotten Master" around 1385. On this treasure are
Scenes from the life of Mary depicted. It contains i.a. Hebrew characters and Jewish symbols - one of the earliest evidence of Jewish life in the Vogelsberg.
