In 1764 the first predecessor building from the 10th / 11th Century demolished - only the medieval tower was left. The new building was directed by Rococo master Leydel from Bonn. But just over 10 years after its completion, the church burned out in the big town fire in Eckenhagen and was rebuilt in the form of the "peasant baroque". The tower also received its current roof. The interior is particularly worth seeing with its baroque altar, pulpit and organ (the church is freely accessible during the day - the police station is next door).
