The St. Laurentius Church was probably built between 1170 and 1190 as a fieldstone church. In the vestibule stands the old oak offering box with a triple forged lock system. This used to be the parishioners' money box, as the church took on many of the social security benefits that we take for granted today in emergencies.
Also in the vestibule is an old church chair on which the owner could sit unobserved, be attentive or even sleep. Since 1794, a baptism with a beautifully carved baptismal cover has adorned the chancel. The pulpit itself dates from 1630. The pulpit pictures depict basic scenes from salvation history.
