The Church of St. Marien has a checkered history behind it. The hill was already used for places of worship in pre-Christian times. The church was first mentioned in the 11th century and was already a place of pilgrimage at that time.

Later the church was converted into a fortified church and renewed again and again. So it's worth taking a look inside. But the view from the hill is also worth the climb.
