Worth seeing is the brick church of the village with the oldest bell in Saxony-Anhalt. It bears the year 1505th Thomas Hartwig writes: Franz Peter Schilling, bell foundry master from Apolda, characterized the bell as significant, as German inscriptions on vorreformatorischen bells are not common. The perfect gothic minuscule can only be found in the models of the Dutch bell founder Gerhard van Woustammen, according to Schilling in his documentary. In 1848 the old church was destroyed by fire. Its tower was renovated in 2008.Source:
