Predecessors: first services probably in the castle chapel, in 1373 the church of St. Fabian and Sebastian was built in the freedom. In 1560 Count Jobst and thus Gemen (except for one family) became Lutheran, in 1635 with the House of Limburg-Styrum it became Catholic again. Countess Charlotte Amalie donated the building of St. Mary's Church in 1705, her son Otto Ernst donated the Franciscan monastery in 1719, in which the Sisters of Divine Providence lived and worked from 1915 to 1994.
