The Theuern church dates from the middle of the 18th century. The church tower, which was originally not connected to the church and probably also served as a defense, still shows Romanesque echoes today; its foundations date back to the middle of the 12th century.
The central painting on the high altar shows scenes from the life of Saint Nicholas. Above it is a picture of the Holy Trinity. The altar is framed by statues of Saint Joseph and Saint Francis Xavier.
The left side altar is dedicated to the Holy Cross, the right one to Saint John Nepomuk. The chancel contains gravestones and tombstones of some of the castle owners and priests. The pulpit, the organ and a statue of the scourged Jesus are also impressive.

Parish church of St. Nicholas

Theuern has been a parish for Theuern and the neighboring Ebermannsdorf since the 14th century at the latest. The church was built before 1740 to replace a dilapidated previous building. The Romanesque church tower shows traces of the 12th century and originally served as a defensive tower.
The interior is decorated with a central painting on the high altar depicting scenes from the life of St. Nicholas. The altar is framed by statues of St. Joseph and St. Francis Xavier. In the chancel there are gravestones and gravestones of former castle owners and priests. The organ was built in 1911 by Ludwig Edenhofer Jr. built into the housing of the previous organ by Johann Konrad Funtsch from 1761.
