The Protestant Church of Our Lady is a Gothic church building. It was built from 1350 to 1385 and was a foundation of Countess Lukarde von Eppenstein and Count Konrad von Trimberg. Through a letter of indulgence from Pope John XXII. from Avignon it became a pilgrimage church.
Starting in 2015, a three-year fundamental renovation of the church was carried out due to the leaning tower and poor wooden construction.

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.
