    The Heidenburg could have originated in the 12th century and was destroyed in the Reichs- und Städtekrieg 1312. From the castle chapel, which was dedicated to St. Walpurgis, the parish church, destroyed in 1943, emerged. From her, the tower is still visible today.

    - Not much is left of the castle (retaining walls, castle cellar)
    - the then "Walpurigskirche" "rose" from its castle chapel - first mentioned in 1275
    - was evangelical since 1567
    - In 1943 the church was destroyed by an air raid
    - The octagonal church tower, which was "extended" in this form by Freiherr von Palm in 1812, has been preserved

    The "upper" church is about 200 years older than the Veitskapelle. Its year of construction is estimated at 1185/1187. Since the Reformation in Mühlhausen (1567), it was the Protestant village church until 1943. Today, parts of the walls of the nave and the bell tower (defense tower of the former castle) can still be seen.
