The parish church of St. Paulin in Bischofsdhron was built in the 18th century. The construction plans were drawn up by the famous master builder Johann Seitz, a student of Balthasar Neumann. The construction period lasted from 1766-1770. The new building was erected on the foundations of a Romanesque church, as was discovered during excavation work in 1968.

The special decoration of the church are the baroque high altar and the two baroque side altars. The high altar shows the image of the Assumption of Mary and her coronation. On the left side of the altar stands the figure of Bishop Paulinus, the parish patron of the church, and on the right side the figure of St. Donatus, the patron saint against lightning and storms.

When one speaks of art treasures in the municipality of Morbach, the Stumm organ from 1828 with a still untouched organ work is at the top. With its 20 sounding registers and two manuals, it is one of the small works by the Stumm organ builder from Rhaunen-Sulzbach.

In front of the church there is an imposing natural monument, a mighty old linden tree. It was once planted to mark the completion of the baroque church and today not only delights the residents of Bischofsdhron, but also every visitor and holiday guest. (Morbach.de)
