The old parish church is now the centre of the cemetery and is located in the middle of the former churchyard. The church was first mentioned in 1235 as the seat of a provostship. It is a Romanesque building from the first half of the 13th century, which was extended and modified in the Gothic and Baroque periods. In the 1960s, wall paintings from the time of the church's founding were uncovered on the chancel walls, depicting Henry II and his wife Kunigunde.
