Prince-Bishop Julius Echter renovated the fortified church surrounded by Gaden in 1614. In 1953 the neo-Gothic altars were removed.

The village church preserves three valuable works of art from the late Gothic period: a Maria with child (around 1510). Pope Urban I, patron saint of winegrowers (around 1490) and Johannes d. T.
