    Around 1428, a massive stone tower was erected, with demonstrably subsequent buildings extending to the southwest. In a subsequent construction phase, these buildings and the tower were demolished down to the first cornice, and the tower was raised by three segments and roofed over. Around 1502, a new bell frame was installed, and the ceiling joists on the fourth level were renewed. The foundation stone for St. Mauritius Church was laid around 1522, and in 1524 the roof structure over the nave was completed; the roof over the tower followed a year later.

    The most striking feature of our beautiful church is the tower. You rarely see battlements on a church tower. This is because the tower is significantly older than the church. …

    The high-quality organ in the choir was installed in 1995 by the Swiss organ building company Metzler – using the restored Rococo facade. Part of the old organ, a so-called "Rückpositiv", has been in the Sattlergasse museum barn since 2011. Organ maker Renkewitz from Nehren renovated and expanded the old organ again in the 1950s. The locals were particularly fond of the so-called "Zimbelstern", which only turned at Christmas services.

    The choir stalls were originally set up in the mountain church for the Beguines. The bas-relief carvings (around 1500) mainly show floral ornaments and mythical creatures reminiscent of fish.
